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 TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on May 8, 2012 at 3:55pm: Hello all!!! My sailor just arrived in Washington and will be on the Stennis!! He's very excited about the Pacific NW and has been using this time to get his bearings and learn a little about the area before he reports on 5/16. He is married and they found a rental in Port Orchard. I look forward to getting to know you and learning more in this phase of my son's time in the Navy.

Comment by proud4son85 on March 25, 2012 at 10:00pm: Wow Pat (MP0 You did cover it all. thanks

Also, I got my son a nook and loaded books on it before I sent it to him since he was on deployment when we sent it to him.

Comment by eversteamco on March 24, 2012 at 7:06pm: Newbe question? My son will meet the USS E on deployment in June, this will be his first. He wants to buy a laptop to take....Any idea of how much room they have and if it's worthwhile or not to have a laptop... do they have access to internet? wifi or other? Do they take phones with them?

What do most take with them.... as in don't leave w/o it and what's best left behind?
