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."

I love the San Diego camera, it always makes my day to see the ship and wait for the call.

It is going to be a hot 7 month deployment over there in the sandbox.  My son has a good friend onboard.  He served 5 years on that boat.  God Speed!

Jean, my husband is a subscriber to Navy Times.  In addition to the print issue you can access it online and look at back issues.

Good Morning to Everyone. 

My daughter will be attached with the Stennis. She will be coming on when they go on deployment with her squadron in SD.
