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 DadInValley (SHIP 07 DIV 056) on May 14, 2012 at 8:41am: He's an AE and stationed out of Whidbey Island.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on May 12, 2012 at 3:43am: Dad, so glad to hear. My son is still in Nuke school. He's finished A-school and Nuclear Power School (as of 12/2/11) and June 1 he packs his room up and drives from Goose Creek, SC up to Ballston Spa, NY for six months of Prototype School. He's so excited to finally be done with grad hold and moving on. Remind me again what rating your son is and where he is stationed out of.

Comment by DadInValley (SHIP 07 DIV 056) on May 12, 2012 at 1:27am: Son just got deployed with his squadron. From 7 hrs away to ? hrs. Praying that he returns for Christmas.

Comment by Cindy Ship11,DIV54 on January 28, 2012 at 1:14am: Happy Anniversary everyone! ACTmom, I'm so happy your Sailor has overcome his health issues. I'm lucky, my daughter is stateside. She is on the other side of the country but at least we can visit. A vacation to San Deigo is being planned for vacation now! Many thanks to all of you ladies. I was able to keep my sanity because of this site. God Bless you all!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 27, 2012 at 8:26pm: Hi Actmom; WOW, what a ride it has been. Like Sandy, my son is also over in Goose Creek, SC for Nuke School. He's done with A-school (14 weeks), Power School (6 months) and now on grad hold for 4-8 months then on to Prototype School for another 6 months. If he is lucky and chosen, he will then go on to ELT school for another 3 months!!!! Hey, sounds like maybe your son is the lucky one. lol So good to hear from you here and sounds like your son is doing well. Take care and stay in touch.

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on January 27, 2012 at 8:21pm: Hello Actmom!! So glad your Sailor is doing well. Japan, wow! My Sailor is still in Goose Creek SC, doing the Nuke thing. Married now! Life is good and we're moving right along. I too, am forever greatful for the bonds and friendships we've made this past year. Please keep in touch! Many blessings to you and your family. ((HUGS))

Comment by ACTmom(ship 11 Div 054) on January 27, 2012 at 1:48pm: Just wanted to pop in today to wish everyone HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Tomorrow will be one year since we were all in the snow and cold , seeing our new sailors after 9 very emotional weeks. Some of us got to enjoy that snow a little longer than others~ wink! Anyway. I hope that everyone is doing well and that your sailors are doing well. My sailor is still in Japan on USS George Washington. He has done very well at adapting to the Navy now. If you all remember, he wasn't doing very well when he first got there. 2 tours on the ship shipped him up to say the least. He likes it a lot, but still has love/hate relationship with Navy! LOL! I say.. welcome to LIFE!! You all take care. Thank ALL of you for the love, help, and being a HUGE support during those weeks of bootcamp. There is never a day I don't think how much I would not have made it without all of you. All of you take care and God Bless you, your family, your sailors and the United States Navy!!

Comment by Hawkeye Mom on August 29, 2011 at 10:27am: KLP0824,

Thank you. My sailor has been there over a week & we have skyped three times. We are getting to talk to him more than when he was away at college. He likes it. Says that it is a very traditional town. Has to get used to finding his way around on the ship.

Comment by KLP0824 on August 28, 2011 at 4:54pm: aww Hawkeye Mom your sailor is so lucky i want my hubby to be station in Japan that's one of our dream place
