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 ElizabethC on December 31, 2010 at 7:58pm: Hi everyone...I don't mean to be a downer but I have a question since some of your Sailors have already left for A school....my "T" is in the process of packing up his stuff (he's leaving after the weekend) and I am so weepy (RAOC) and I can't stop myself. I am so excited and happy for him and I know this is nothing compared to what we all went through while they were in BC, but I'm a mess, any one else go through this? Not to mention I meet up with a couple of my girlfriends this morning and was sharing my feelings on the BC experience and the next leg of the journey and I was told "are you talking to anyone about this?" meaning counseling, that hurt me so deeply. I think I'm having a hard time because this is my first child leaving home. Any advise or words of widsom are appreciated....before I (or my girlfriend...haha) check me into the coocoo bin..

Luke and I talk everyday, or at least text, but we've decided not to move me to fl since his a schooling is only 2 months long..I guess ill be sending him a care package or two til I see him next. :)
