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 SailorsPrincess on January 11, 2013 at 11:02pm: Hi there :) My husband is on the USS Harry S. Truman! Just left the USS John C. Stennis, he's been in the Navy almost 7 years!

Comment by Bayou girl on January 4, 2013 at 3:16pm: Hi Gina! I'm fairly new to the group also. My son will be heading to the Truman in a few weeks. He is an AO.

Comment by PattiMacQ on December 5, 2012 at 1:11am: My son is an AD on the Stennis he is a member of VAW 112

Comment by mamacraw on December 4, 2012 at 8:02pm: Our daughter recently joined the Stennis. Are there any other folks out there with family members on the Stennis? We are new to this whole Navy experience!

Comment by dannysmom on December 2, 2012 at 1:34am: my son is about to board uss san jacinto, so am looking for an active group on here i can know a little about this ship and what his life will be like here.

Comment by soonergirl99 12/159~5/6/11~Big E on November 7, 2012 at 9:14pm: Thanks Cindy for the info. I wasn't sure if a carrier based overseas would have a TC like the US based carriers do. I certainly hope there will be a TC at some point during Blake's attachment to the USS George Washington (Japan).

Suzann ~ that is truly a bummer that the Capt. didn't opt for the TC. I would go on another TC no matter what season. The Big E's TC was too much fun! I hope you'll some day get to experience a TC.

Comment by soonergirl99 12/159~5/6/11~Big E on November 7, 2012 at 5:57pm: I just returned from the Tiger Cruise (TC) aboard the USS Enterprise/CVN 65. This was a historic TC because it was the final TC for the Big E. After 51 years of faithful service (and 25 deployments) the grande dame will be decommissioned on December 1, 2012.

My son will be going to the USS George Washington some time in 2013. Does anyone know if the GW has a TC? I had so much fun on the Big E's TC that I want to do it again (to be able to spend time on a ship with my son).

Thanks!
