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 forrestsmom/deb on March 23, 2011 at 10:01am: Thank you Mary for the invite. I may just stop by on Saturday. Beth - Thank you so much. I too am glad they are out. I read, I believe it was Command 7th Fleet (fb) that they are watching the winds so they can keep moving ships and helos out of the radiation. So proud of them all. My son is a PS-Petty 1st Class.

Comment by forrestsmom/deb on March 22, 2011 at 2:59pm: My son is on the Shiloh.

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on March 22, 2011 at 1:37pm: ?....there is no OVERLOAD.....ships are moving all the time, do you someone that you could send stuff to?

Comment by forrestsmom/deb on March 22, 2011 at 12:16pm: diane where are you hearing about packahe "overeload"?

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on March 22, 2011 at 11:02am: Lindalay, getting a packing party together is not difficult, but unfortunatley right now it very hard to get items sent to Japan/Sailors, Some CO's are saying "WAIT"...things are on a day to day basis but once "we" know where to send things, it will be a lot easier!!!!!

Comment by lindalav on March 22, 2011 at 7:54am: ok so i am hearing alot of moms saying the kids are asking to send personal items (deodorant etc) since they have donated it to japan -- so how can we get a packing party going in the area ? we need to help out our kids here. I will try to get a hold of the local amvet or eagles and see if they will help. I am new to this so any suggestions will definately help
