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 MaggieMay on May 9, 2016 at 2:47pm: I think some sailors only have selective hearing - they hear what they want to hear! LOL well at least a lot of men are like that LOL

Here's the scoop my son gave me: Says the decision to have or not have a tiger cruise was left up to the sailors and it was decided NOT to do the cruise. He wanted it to happen bc his brother was going to go. But as he explained to me the number of sailors actually having guests for the cruise is relatively small compared to the number of sailors assigned to the ship. If a sailor doesn't have anyone going on the cruise they basically could care less whether they have it or not. I know it's a bummer!!!!

Comment by djk's Mom on May 9, 2016 at 2:34pm: i heard it is in July ! If you talking about not listening though I have the King, he just had his Dad take the days off though

Comment by Brooke on May 9, 2016 at 2:32pm: Haha joshmom it's the truth and he will be the first to admit it, that's too bad that it was cancelled. I think it is because the underway was extended/:

Comment by MaggieMay on May 9, 2016 at 2:30pm: Hello ladies!

Brooke - the comment about your husband listening or not made me chuckle LOL

My son has also (just recently) told me that the tiger cruise has been cancelled. All bummed out here!

Comment by Brooke on May 9, 2016 at 2:21pm: CountryGirl no i haven't heard anything from the ombudsman about the tiger cruise, only from my husband and I'm not sure how reliable he is haha he isn't the best listener!

Comment by reneec on May 9, 2016 at 1:22pm: Thank you Brooke!

Comment by CountryGirl on May 9, 2016 at 12:07pm: @brooke Just to check... No info has come from the ombudsman right?

Comment by Brooke on May 9, 2016 at 12:02pm: My husband said he heard the tiger cruise was cancelled or at least for the date they originally planned, but I'm not sure 100%? To get on the ombudsman list your sailor has to email the ombudsman from their ship email and give them your name and email address.

Comment by reneec on May 9, 2016 at 10:25am: Hello Brooke- How do I get on the Ombudsman email list??

Comment by reneec on May 9, 2016 at 10:22am: My son told me he put his father and I on the list for the Tiger cruise- he didn't have the exact date but I was wondering if anyone had any further info re what to expect and length of the cruise???? Just trying to figure out how many day to request off of work :) Thanks for any help!!!
