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."

Hug your sailor for me,PLEASE!!.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 18, 2011 at 11:22am: Love the slideshow!! Great job Navybum : )

Comment by ProudGMBarb on June 15, 2011 at 3:57am: Jane...any of the places you suggested sound fine. I'm thinking Carl's Jr. is usually never crowded and usually quieter...so might work good for our purposes?? what do you think? If everyone else prefers one of the other places, I'm fine with it!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on June 14, 2011 at 2:11pm: Charlotte..congrats to your sailor....and to you too! Looking forward to hearing about his A school experience! Lucky for him...Florida! Our sailor is still in A school at GL. Too cold in the winter for us desert rats!

Comment by Charlotte(ship02Div930) on June 14, 2011 at 12:22pm: We are home from PIR! what an amazing event. My son was Honor Guard so they came out into the drill hall before everyone else and they actually posed for pictures in front of our bleachers!! It was awesome!! They all looked so handsome/beautiful in their dress whites!! The feeling of pride for all of them is overwhelming. He is now off to A school in Florida but he has text me or called for the past two days.....what a relief this all is! Thank you ladies for all the support. GO NAVY!!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on June 14, 2011 at 2:41am: Jane, thanks for those lists. I will be happy to bring some things to the meeting on the 23rd !

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 8, 2011 at 4:27pm: Congratulations Charlotte! What a great thing to go to PIR :)

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 8, 2011 at 4:17pm: Congratulations to your son on all the accomplishments and happy news! (by the way, you're not supposed to show names in pics here on N4M; you can blur it with the retouch tool in Edit if you have iPhoto) Handsome guy!

Comment by Diane1954 on June 8, 2011 at 1:22pm: Charlotte - congrats on your son's graduation! I know you will enjoy it. I know we did the first time & will be doing again in 4 weeks. Our son is also in a 900 division.

Comment by Charlotte(ship02Div930) on June 8, 2011 at 1:12pm: Yay for seeing pics of our boys on the internet. My sailor PIRs this friday! We leave for GL today!! I am so excited and bursting with pride! He will then head to Florida for A school (IT). I cannot wait to get a hug from that boy! This is definitely a rollercoaster ride. This site has been so helpful along with the Navy Facebook page. He is in a 900 division so he will perform at his PIR. They were also privileged and participated in a Memorial Day parade and we saw a youtube video of him! I can even image his first deployment......Go Navy!!
