OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

It is official, my son is out of the Navy as of Tuesday. Hopefully, some other Dad....or Mom will pick up this board and carry on.

Any new dads out there want to step forward and tell us what your sailor is doing in the Navy?

Comment by Concernedad on December 21, 2016 at 3:40pm

Dan, I would think he needed some time to get re-assimilated. Life went on while he was away. Glad to hear he's getting back into the swing of things. 

Comment by Dan on December 20, 2016 at 3:28pm
My son got out in May. He was not comfortable just relaxing with family and seemed nervous. He didn't seem to know how to interact with his younger siblings. This lasted for a few months.

I am not sure if this is the common experience, but he seems back to normal after a semester in college. It is nice to see him laughing and enjoying family time

Glad to see so many still here! My son just sent out for his last underway. 7 more months and he'll be free to sit around the house playing video games until the wife tells him to find a job.
