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."

My son-in-law is a GSE, stationed at Pearl Harbor on the Chung Hoon. He and my daughter have been there for a little over a year.

I believe he is going to stay with the "Big Stick" he said they have not mentioned about linking him to something else. But I do Know in 2021 he may be heading to Washington.

Hi Texas Sailor Mom, My Son is also a EM3 he is stationed in SD Coronado Island. He went straight there after A school and is on the USS Theodore Roosevelt.

Hello, my sailors' rate is an  EM and stationed in Annapolis, Maryland. He was on the Carl Vinson for several years before in Coronado, CA.  Love to hear from everyone also.

Our son was shipped out 11/14/18 with a MOS as an EM. Got the call, the box & now waiting PIR date. Not sure what to expect from this MOS.

Good Morning Folks, was wondering what it would take to get this site started up once again. I see we have many fields/rate under this site and I am looking to find others who may have a Loved One either staitoned on North Island (Coronado) or who may be a EM (Electricians Mate) or any field on this site. Maybe I can be of assistance to you as well you to me. I know this site hase been really quite and would like to maybe get it started up as we have many New folks with Loved ones who may have questions. Thank You!
