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 SoCal Ohana on January 9, 2013 at 7:17pm: Thanks Pat - I have joined......and I should probably learn what rates means :)

Comment by Navymom on January 6, 2013 at 9:15am: Hi Pat

Ari loves California. She is from Massachusetts so loves not having any cold there. She has been serving almost 2 years now. Her first deployment is in May. Has your daughter gone on deployment yet?

Comment by momof4 on January 4, 2013 at 5:18pm: Hi, Allys- My daughter is an aviation machinist mate in San Diego. She is with a helo squadron. She entered bootcamp last February. I can't believe she will soon complete her first year. Having been raised in Florida, she is lovin' Cali as she calls it.

Comment by Navymom on January 2, 2013 at 8:35pm: My name is Susan and I have a daughter on the USS Pearl Harbor (LSD 52). She is in San Diego, CA and is scheduled for her first deployment in April, 2013. Does anyone else have a daughter on that ship?

Comment by SoCal Ohana on December 28, 2012 at 7:51pm: My daughter is scheduled to go in for boot camp Feb 6 2013! She is scheduled then to go to A School in Florida to be an Aviation Machinist Mate. Anyone have a daughter in that field?
