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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 18, 2010 at 12:00am: Roxann, go to navyrackpacks.com. You can also email the gal who designs and makes them - pat@navyrackpacks.com, she's been great about answering all my questions. Oh, and you can get his last name embroidered on it for free.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 17, 2010 at 7:54pm: Jeano - I just posted some ideas for your sailor in the discussion "San Diego - what to see & do" above. One word of advice to your sailor - visiting Tijuana isn't a safe thing to do. And if he does, getting back across the border on the weekend can mean standing in line for up to four hours.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 17, 2010 at 6:20pm: Roxann, my son's 1st cruise is coming up in few months & I'm thinking along same lines already. Does your son have this thing called a NavyRackPack? I'm going to order one. Provides extra storage for photos, books etc.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 17, 2010 at 3:03pm: Jeano - there's a ferry connecting San Diego to Coronado Island, $3.50 each way, 15 min ride, and plenty to walk & see at each end: http://www.sdhe.com/san-diego-bay-ferry.html

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 15, 2010 at 10:18pm: Shirley, great idea, I just added Discussions for both San Diego and Norfolk too!

Comment by Dona on January 8, 2010 at 7:44pm: Fran-if you have never been across the bay to Coronado, I recommend that-beautiful island community with several good restaurants. Our daughter-in-law went to the famous San Diego zoo after Christmas and raved about it. We left before that and didn't get to see it.I have always heard so much about it, though.

Comment by Anti M on October 14, 2009 at 4:02pm: ... and I'm not being mean, I just want to make sure you understand what you've already been told a couple times.

Comment by Anti M on October 14, 2009 at 4:01pm: Laura, even if the satt signal can reach the ship, they CANNOT use the internet. It is forbidden to access the 'net using personal devices while underway. They MUST use the ship's computers as the messages are all censored/monitored. They can get in serious trouble if they try to get around the rules!!!! I know you've been asking around about this, but I am telling you the flat truth, no internet, ONLY ship's email at the ship's discretion. NO PRIVATE EMAIL while on deployment.

This is not an opinion, it is fact.

Comment by Anti M on October 12, 2009 at 1:35pm: Yeah, I know1 I sent a message.

Comment by Anti M on October 12, 2009 at 11:08am: Polli, I sent a friendship request so I can give you details; the initial message is too short to explain what I know from a patient's side.
