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 January 6, 2011 at 1:21pm: Mary, that's great that J is getting the support and advice that he needs now. ((hugs))

Comment by Nancy on January 6, 2011 at 12:54pm: Mary, I'm so glad to hear that things are working out for you and J. Glad that he is doing well in A school, seems like everyone is much happier out of BC LOL!! Keep in touch so we know what is going on, and did you add J's birthday to our discussion above? so that we can all send him a b-day card!!

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on January 6, 2011 at 10:36am: Wow you guys have wrote a bunch since I have been I have been in South Carolina. I don't have time to read them all and its not the easiest for me on this phone..lol. but an update for you all. J is doing great! He got some legal advise and has that ball rolling in a good direction. Thank you all for your support in a time like this.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 6, 2011 at 12:54am: Wendi, good luck with your interview on Sat.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on January 5, 2011 at 11:47pm: I have seen others posting about their sailors out on New Year's Eve and now talking about NYC trip. H said she is not allowed off base for 28 days.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on January 5, 2011 at 11:19pm: I got a call today and scheduled an appointment for H's security clearance on Sat.

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on January 5, 2011 at 9:31pm: Penny....I hear the comments on FB but I received a e-mail in my personal e-mail saying that they will issue NEX card in the next few weeks, don't need to do anything. They will send it to my address and I can forward to my sailor.

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on January 5, 2011 at 9:20pm: Hi ladies...phew...you guys have been busy....I have been cracking up over the comments...who knew a fridge could bring so much comic relief! :)

Terry N keeps talking about the hurry up and wait game that seems to be happening out there. There have been a few classes, but it sounds like they are just hanging out and playing video games. He posted something about signing up for a trip to NYC...I asked him for details, but he hasn't responded yet. I think that is awesome if the Navy is organizing trips to local points of interest. N has been to NYC many times but we both can never get enough of the Big Apple!

Where did you guys see the information about the DVD? I have been searching like crazy trying to find it and I even left a message on RTC fb page asking if there was anything else that we could do for pictures etc...but they didn't respond! I did read some posts from this week's families who got their "I'm a sailor call!" Brought back a flood of emotions!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 5, 2011 at 8:58pm: Terry, boredom was pretty common last week with my son. This week he seems to be doing more things though.
