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 RaksAndRoll on June 20, 2018 at 2:09pm: Hi Everyone!

I'm in Phoenix.

My daughter (20 next month) has decided to join the Navy. She is in the early stages of the process. She is getting her braces off tomorrow and will be heading to her recruiter to discuss the ASVAB and BC date options.
It's been a little bit of an emotional roller coaster for me. My head tells me this will be a great thing for her, be proud of her for making such a mature decision. But my "mommy heart" is crying and only wants to never let her leave the house! LOL. The 2 parts, head and heart are battling each other.

How have you dealt with this when you were first told? Especially if you've NOT been a military family before?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 18, 2018 at 8:36pm: Party tomorrow! Our spring-into-summer AZ Moms get-together starts at 10:30 am at Camp Social, 6107 N. 7th St., Phoenix. Special Navy guests are joining us, including Navy counselor NC1 Robinson who will speak and take questions. Don't miss this one, it's going to be great!!

Comment by Navy Mom (J) on May 7, 2018 at 9:49am: It was great to have 2 new moms join us on the patio last night!
