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."

What a great thing your husband does Mary, I do notice how kind and gentle he is to small children, he seems to really enjoy them! God Bless him for doing for the familes! ♥

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on December 7, 2010 at 3:59pm: OH Mary saw your photos from that party at the Bunker, was that hubby as Santa...Saw the recruit commander and his wife there, loved his Hawaiian shirt.....and NO I didn't hear you at my house, LOL

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on December 7, 2010 at 3:49pm: Linda my son had to leave deployment 10 day early due to his wife being very ill, HE needed his passport!!!,made that emergancy trip a lot easier..... a must...best to be safe then sorry, the world is a different place today then is was years ago...

Lindalay-if they don't have one, your sons command can point them in the right direction on how to get it!...My son said it is very easy, especially with Military ID being a great form of ID!!!

Comment by lindalav on December 3, 2010 at 11:57am: what if they dont have a passport?

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on December 1, 2010 at 11:16am: When in the military and especially when going underway a sailor SHOULD ALWAYS have his passport, most sailors are told that, especially in pre-deployment...If a sailor MUST leave deployment and travel through a countries airport, they will need a passport, remember that are NOT in America anymore and we all know how much some countries love OUR troops....It also makes traveling through this airports a lot easier..Its a easy thing for our sailors to get and HIGHLY suggest each sailor has his or hers! There is usually a check list when a sailor leaves on deployment...POA/Passport etc...very important to have!!!

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on November 22, 2010 at 9:06pm: Okay, I have a question -- My son called and wants me to send his passport -- he only has an FPO address --is this safe? What is the best way?
