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 TRat829 on April 12, 2010 at 4:20am: does anyone have advice ads to what is the BEST way to talk to my husband whenever he may get the chance while on deployment. I have heard we should get him a phone card but I wasn't sure of any other/all ways that are possible?

Comment by TRat829 on April 11, 2010 at 12:50pm: Shirley, this is the first deployment for us too. But he just left A school. Its crazy to happen so fast!

Comment by TRat829 on April 11, 2010 at 1:51am: Thanks Shirley! I have been searching forever to find a group like this! Thanks so much!

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on April 11, 2010 at 1:11am: Thanks for the information, Shirley. I guess I just have to wait and see. Either way, I will still go. Seeing one son is better than none.

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on April 11, 2010 at 12:34am: I talked to my son, he is glad that the BHR will be in port next week. He has been in San Diego since the end of March with nothing to do. Since the Navy does not like "Nothing to do", they have had him on watch duty.
How long do ships usually stay in port between deployments? I want to go out to San Diego in June to see my other son graduate from FMTB, and would love to see both sailors.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 10, 2010 at 12:11pm: Shirley, be sure you're spelling it "peleliu" not 'lui'! http://www.peleliu.navy.mil
Often I have trouble searching for groups on N4M, it comes up with all kinds of comments but not the group with the name I've entered, frustrating.
Kari, perhaps you could post your link?

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on April 8, 2010 at 8:04pm: My son called. There was another earthquake today. It was in Baja California and measured 5.5. From what I could read about it, no damages or injuries.

Comment by Elane on April 6, 2010 at 6:39pm: Trivone and others... for my son when his ship returned from deployment HAD the paperwork been that should of been completed on the ship before the return He would of been on a list for Barracks room...but someone screwed up...so he had to track some higher ups down and get the paperwork sent where it should been before but he did get a barracks room within a couple of days. Others returning on the same ship or group of ships as it actually was that had their paperwork "in"... got rooms the day they got back. Different Naval Stations may have different rules.
also He's in San Diego and reported that he felt the earthquake in his barracks room...but didn't think there was much damage there.

Comment by Dona on April 5, 2010 at 9:53pm: Yes, we just got off Skype with our son-hd aftershocks around 5.0 this morning around 4:30 and 6:40 this morning.They are sitting in front of the TV now listening to the news - debating if the BIG one is coming or not, interviewing people who live in high-rises. He said there was some damage to buildings in San Diego.

Comment by Dona on April 5, 2010 at 8:50pm: Our son in Coronado said that water sloshed out of their aquarium and some things almost fell off shelves. He said he didn't like it, though-we have never had earthquakes that strong in GA!
