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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 9, 2010 at 9:59pm: LInda, I haven't found that other DVD yet. Our tv interview is missing too, so now we are wondering where we put them to be "safe" haha. I'll keep looking and will try to put that on here.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 9, 2010 at 9:35am: Hi Stephanie, go to

that's the home page for the Lincoln. In the middle section where there is writing, there is a link there for the Penny Press.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 7, 2010 at 11:49pm: LInda, I couldn't put my hand on that DVD today. I'll ask hubby tomorrow and find it.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 7, 2010 at 12:53am: I'll get it out tomorrow and put the information on here. it was really good. I have a great email about the 1st aircraft carrier ever built also. pm me your email address and I'll forward it to you.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 6, 2010 at 12:00pm: I do have a DVD, not sure who made it, but it's about carriers and their histories. much much better.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 4, 2010 at 10:10pm: I agree with you Linda. We saw it on PBS when it aired in the spring of 2008. I was disappointed by the soap opera too. The only thing I can say, is we were going to take the tiger cruise later that year, so I did have alittle idea of what the carrier was like.

Comment by Navy for Moms Admin on December 14, 2009 at 5:04pm: Ladies -

Please do not forget the importance of OPSEC when posting on this site. Sharing specific dates regarding ship movements can jeopardize the safety of our Sailors. Please review our Community Guidelines!

Comment by Carmina Amador-Glover on December 7, 2009 at 3:32pm: Hi Cathy,
Joey told me that they were doing a dry run on January 4th, but I'm not sure if they are moving the ship to the homeport that week.

Comment by Carmina Amador-Glover on December 7, 2009 at 12:13pm: Good Day Ladies,

Has anyone heard when the Lincoln will be moving back to it's homeport yet?

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on December 7, 2009 at 10:29am: Most post office keep the militarty boxes in the back, cause people pick them up by accident and then they are ruined-at least that's what what the PO told me.

I always call and get that box full of stuff. The tape isn't the best, but I put a ton of it on, so I'm good. Remember to tape all of the seams. I read that on a military website when the Lincoln deployed last year. And I put tape all across the bottom - I think I am "waterproofing" it.

My son hasn't been deployed for Christmas, but spent his birthday on the ship 3 years on a row. send that fudge and cookies, call it a party in a box and he'll know that you love him.
