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 Jody Gault on September 13, 2009 at 4:42pm: Lilly, welcome. We've all been where you're at. I hope you can make it to PIR. It's the most awesome memorable occassion ever. I live in Orlando and I made friends via N4M with a mom who lives in Deltona thru our PIR group. Funny thing is that when we were finally able to find out and put pieces together our sons were in the same group at BC and were good buddies. They went on to Pensacola for their A schooling but on different bases and now they're both in WA state on different bases. It's funny how that all turned out. Guess what I'm trying to relay to you is some of these ladies will end being a great support system for you and yours and probably friends for live. Looking forward to meeting you.

Comment by Jody Gault on September 12, 2009 at 9:03am: Diane, do we have any letterhead that you can email me that I can write a thank you note to the preschool for the cards that they made for our sailors last month? They said they will probably do another one around the holidays. I told the director for any art projects or whatever to keep em coming as I'm sure the sailors love those little kid cards that are being made up.

Comment by Jody Gault on September 10, 2009 at 8:45pm: Trouble-very nice! I would like to chime in on your thought as well.

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on September 9, 2009 at 4:19pm: missing them!!! only "maybe" 3 more months....

Comment by Jody Gault on September 6, 2009 at 9:16am: Pam that is awesome. That revived you a bit I can tell. Gosh how hard that must be to not hear from your son for that long. We're not there yet, as we hear from Justin at least once a week.
