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 December 19, 2009 at 9:41pm: Now you can add Scottsdale to your members list! My son's a corpsman nearing the end of two years as an anesthesia tech at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, VA, then on to FTMB & a ship after that. I'm planning to join the get-together on January 9 - look forward to meeting you!

Comment by dooby1424 on December 10, 2009 at 8:25am: Jnauary 9th - what time? This sounds perfect!!

Comment by dooby1424 on December 9, 2009 at 10:28am: Hi Pamela...it seems as if there are a number of moms in the Tempe/Ahwautee area. Weshould all meet for coffee after the Holidays. There is a Coco's on Elliot, one block from the I-10. Maybe we can set up a meeting.

Comment by dooby1424 on December 9, 2009 at 1:19am: ahdreysmema - coffee after Christmas would be wonderful. We need to keep in touch!!

Comment by dooby1424 on December 9, 2009 at 12:56am: Audreysmema....my daughter in currently in Montery, CA, finishing her Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Naval Post Graduate School. She is a graduate of the Naval Academy in Annapolis (Class of '02). She is classified as a Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer. After Department Head School she will be stationed on a LSD, the USS Fort McHenry. It sounds as if it is the same type of ship your son will be on. You are right - your son will probably be real busy!! :-) You asked about the cold weather in Rhode Island - well, my son is stationed in Groton, CT. His wife is stationed in Newport. And it IS cold!!

Comment by dooby1424 on December 8, 2009 at 4:33pm: Hi Audreymema....we lived in Tempe for 18 years. Now we are in Ahwatukee. what ship will your son be on in Little Creek? My daughter will be stationed out of Little Creek beginning either September 2010 or October 2010 (has to complete Department Head School in Newport first). I know it will be hard no to see your son for Christmas.

Comment by dooby1424 on December 8, 2009 at 8:01am: I am looking for Officer Moms inArizona. I have met wonderful Enlisted Moms. If you are the mom of an Officer, let me know. Happy Holidays!
