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."

Hello! My son arrived on the USS McCAMPBELL last week. Trying to connect with other parents for tips on communicating with our sailors and what their life is now like.

I know there is no activity on this site, but I thought I would give it a try and see if there are any other mothers out there that want to communicate.  My daughter is going to Japan in April her ship will be the McCampbell.
