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 acesmom(ship:03, Div: 249) on July 6, 2011 at 8:07pm: Thanks, ladies. I have been stressing because I don't know what address to use. i have 3 different ones so far and written several letters. I've sent them to whatever current address I have...He said he is having trouble passing the swimming test and that really bothers me. We have a pool and he was always in it.

Comment by acesmom(ship:03, Div: 249) on July 6, 2011 at 3:48pm: Hi yall, I'm kinda new at this. My son is in his 4th week of boot camp. Anyone else who is in boot camp? I'm from (Pinson-Clay) the Birmingham area.

Comment by Drew's Mom Debbie on June 28, 2011 at 11:37am: Hi moob 1976, have you found the facebook page for GL. It's wonderful, pictures and everything. Let me know if you haven't seen it yet, I'll give you the directions.

Comment by slapout52 on June 28, 2011 at 11:15am: Hey bc moms, I can relate!!! It hasn't been so long since I was at my Sailor's PIR! It was absolutely wonderful. Enjoy the letters & cards while you can, because they do not write letters from A school. You might get a txt ms once in awhile or something funny on their facebook status. Would love to get together with this Ala. moms group sometime this summer.
