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."

Comment by diannep on January 12, 2015 at 9:34pm: You are so very welcome, My4sonsjrbm! So glad you had such a great experience! We love helping you all! Blessings to your new sailor!

Comment by My4sonsjrbm on January 12, 2015 at 6:19pm: Just like to give a huge thank you to all the NavyforMom vets who offered such great advice through the Boot Camp experience. We had an awesome time in GL even though it was frigid weather. A big shout out to the Marriott Courtyard they were so accommodating to us and gave us an awesome rate. We will use them again in October when our other son becomes a sailor.

Comment by CatMom509 on January 11, 2015 at 7:22pm: Blessed Sunday!

     "I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;

      even at night my heart instructs me.

      I have set the Lord always before me.

      Because He is a my right hand,

      I will not be shaken."

                                             Psalm 16:7-8

Comment by Krista on January 10, 2015 at 3:19pm: We had the same experience ELO MOM! THANK YOU to all of you that shared your stories and a special thanks to our facilitators to this group - so positive, encouraging and helpful xo

Comment by ELO.Navy.Mom on January 10, 2015 at 2:25pm: What a great time we had....even though getting into Chicago was a nightmare and we slept about 3 hours per night for both nights we were in town, it was so worth it! Didn't meet anybody from this group (or any other parents), except to chat with those we sat near, but had a great time anyhow. The Marriott Residence Inn was terrific and not too expensive. Highly recommend!
