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 NormaH on April 30, 2013 at 5:49pm: Btw...I get to go see him in June!

Comment by NormaH on April 30, 2013 at 5:48pm: Mine is at Pendleton Naval Hospital....doing paperwork...he'd much rather be working with patients, but he is doing his best and hopefully his next assignment will be just that!

Comment by DramaSoul on April 28, 2013 at 11:56am: My son has been at 29 Palms for almost 8 months. It is in the middle of nowhere, high desert, very windy...hot hot hot except for a couple of months in the Winter when it is in the 20's at night. He has been learning a lot. I know he will pick other orders next Jan. He does love working with his patients, though. He was one of only 3 Corpsman to pass some ALS tests. He also just completed TCCC (Tactical Combat Critical Care) training. Very proud of him.

Comment by rsv227-Devin's Mom on April 27, 2013 at 2:20pm: Thank you for the info. My son arrived there yesterday & is all checked in & ready to start his FMTB training. Sending him off this time seemed so much harder this time than it has in the past. I just hate not knowing when I'll see him again:( Thank God for Skype & cell phones!

Comment by DramaSoul on April 25, 2013 at 10:25am: Agree with everything Ruth said about CP!

Comment by rsv227-Devin's Mom on April 20, 2013 at 12:09pm: My son leaves next Fri. for Camp Pendleton for FMTB, what can I expect. Before this he was stationed in Guam @ the Naval Hospital. When he is finished with training, he will be stationed in Hawaii. What kind of things should I send in care packages, what kind of communication will I have w/him, etc? Any info. would be appreciated. I look forward to being an active member of this group:)
