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 15, 2009 at 10:59am: Hi Judi,
we were in San Diego last March when the Lincoln deployed for 7 months. It is a sight to watch it being nudged out by tugboats. Thanks for the info.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 14, 2009 at 10:19pm: My son is headed that way next week to do some training on the Lincoln.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 12, 2009 at 4:10pm: Hey, check out the Carrier group. Regina posted some really important information.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on December 30, 2008 at 11:04am: Hi Diane,
welcome! this is a fun site and you get lots of good information. My son is assigned to a squadron out of VA and that is assigned to the Lincoln. My husband and I went on the tiger cruise in October. It was wonderful. Was your son deployed this year?

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on December 25, 2008 at 11:38am: Merry Christmas.

I posted a poem about sailors on my page in a blog post. I think you all would like it.

Comment by CCR on December 16, 2008 at 8:16pm: Congrats to everyone on your sailors coming home. (and the lovely phone calls...)

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on December 9, 2008 at 9:55pm: I heard that both engines failed. That is so sad! All I can say, is when the ship was deployed, the email and phone were sometimes blacked out. So that is certainly a possiblity.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on December 5, 2008 at 8:50am: How exciting that you got to go on the Lincoln. Isn't it awesome. I bet you happy to see your son! It's hard to not keep touching him when you haven't seen him for awhile.
Chris that is a great honor for your son to win!
As far as internet goes, alot of servers are blocked. I couldn't access my email while on tiger cruise. MSN and yahoo are blocked, not sure which others. Maybe that's the problem.
I'm glad that Nick is feeling better too.
