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 Sara on September 16, 2012 at 12:27pm: aww thats great..this will be our 1st holiday time apart. I know she had a hard time for Easter and even her birthday..she just turned 20 last may. So i know the next few holidays will be very hard for her.. thanks for all you do, i wish i lived closer to help out or be involved somehow.

Comment by Sara on September 16, 2012 at 10:17am: Hi my name is sara and my daughter is now on a 9 month deployment aboard the USS Eisenhower.. she joined her shipmates on july 3rd. so far its been a very long deployment. extreme high temps like 130 and long work days. she has been to 3 ports so far which she has enjoyed.

Comment by Ashley-PO2 Spouse on September 10, 2012 at 2:10pm: I wish my mom had known about this group when I was in. My poor mom had one in the navy and one in the army.

Comment by princess89 ship 3 div 430 on September 9, 2012 at 9:31pm: I know they told my daughter her date to leave was suppose to be 12/26 but she ended up leaving 8/15. The good thing is she had ample warning so they should give you a couple weeks anyways.

Comment by SouthCarolinaProud on September 9, 2012 at 8:22pm: Hey Everyone Linda here from SC. My daughter leaves Nov 20th for BC. Her recruiter said she might go early because they like to shut down for the holidays but we won't know when or if they call her to come early. Makes it hard to have her a party before she leaves. Guess we will just have to play it by ear. Uggh!!! Hope everyone is doing well!

Comment by TwoForTheNavy on September 5, 2012 at 9:44pm: Thank you Pat! She's hanging in there...Navy tough..lol

Comment by Diana(PO3/IT3) on September 4, 2012 at 8:50pm: Anyone here have a daughter on the USS Boxer? Mine is newly assigned and begins her duty station there very soon....

Comment by TwoForTheNavy on August 31, 2012 at 6:52pm: Her head hurts a lot but seems to be ok..they did a cat scan on her she didn't mention anything extreme but, she does have a double concusion and is supposed to take it easy.
