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 August 19, 2014 at 6:28pm: Here's an inspiring story about a Yuma native today via US Navy Healthcare - "Lt. Rebeca Rodriguez started in the Navy as an Electrician's Mate then applied for the STA-21 program for a commission as a Navy Nurse, eventually working in various capacities within the nursing field including medical-surgical, oncology, and ambulatory." http://www.yumasun.com/news/yuma-native-now-a-recruiter-for-u-s-nav...

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 19, 2014 at 6:25pm: Welcome Sasyz250! Sending good thoughts to you today :) Congratulations and welcome to the family!

Comment by Alicia In AZ on August 17, 2014 at 7:59pm: Welcome Sasyz250! I'm in N Phx near Desert Ridge. Prepare yourself for a emotional exciting roller coaster. My son will be graduating from BC (Bootcamp) on Friday! Read up and join other groups, the more you learn the faster the time will go until you see Aaron again. Best of luck to him!!

Comment by Alottolearn on August 17, 2014 at 7:28pm: Hi Everyone! My son Aaron leaves for boot camp Tuesday morning. I'm from Gilbert and so excited this group exists. I feel completely out of my element and can use all the support I can get.
