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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 11, 2011 at 12:28pm: Awesome, Wendi.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on April 10, 2011 at 9:23pm: I have 20 days

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 10, 2011 at 9:20pm: Wendi, That is great! I think I will probably have to wait until at the fall or winter.

My countdown begins to see my sailor! Only 12 more days! Woohoo! I miss him so much :(

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on April 10, 2011 at 8:49pm: I will be going this summer some time

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 10, 2011 at 11:15am: Wendi ((hugs)) I've missed you! Wow, Hawaii! Please tell her Congratulations on her graduation. Enjoy your 3 weeks with your beautiful girl. Maybe we could meet up there for a visit? My daughter is moving there for a year, after her college graduation, to be with her Navy bf (soon to be fiance') I know what emotions you are going through now. ((hugs)) Maybe we could plan a trip there to see them at the same time, wouldn't that be cool?

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on April 10, 2011 at 12:31am: Hi everyone...I haven't been on here for a really long time. I think I have just had a hard time missing H. She is graduating April 29 and will go to New Oreleans to have her car shipped. She will be home on the 30th for 3 weeks then off to Hawaii for the next 3 years.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 9, 2011 at 11:17am: Terry, safe travels to you and enjoy your time with your sailor ((hugs))
