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 Kaina on November 11, 2014 at 5:47pm: The Captain wrote on Cape newsletter about the Phillipines & I also read about it on Navy news. So sad.
My son was pretty bummed not visiting there. But he posted pictures of their Halloween.
How cool to be at port & enjoying a foreign country celebrating Halloween. Him & all his friends dressed up. It was a great feeling to see that. I always tell him to detox & have fun every chance you get.
I have my hotel & car rental reservation. Holding off on plane till I hear from my son.
Im hoping he puts in for 1st leave so its we can head home asap! lol

Comment by sherri on November 11, 2014 at 5:34pm: Sure can you pm me your email or cell# to text? Don't feel safe providing on site.

Comment by Katiem on November 11, 2014 at 5:31pm: Sherri can you message me your homecoming date?

Comment by sherri on November 11, 2014 at 5:30pm: I'm hoping not I bought our airfare last week n reserved hotel room

Comment by Mary on November 11, 2014 at 5:01pm: I am so grateful for all of you. I wouldn't know what's going on at all if it weren't for your messages.

Comment by Katiem on November 11, 2014 at 4:55pm: Does anyone think it's too early to buy plane tickets???

Comment by Kaina on November 11, 2014 at 3:39pm: My son received his boxes 2-3 weeks. Not sure about this Holiday time. I just mailed his xmas box. Its more goodies than anything & Compression leggins he requested for he said its going to be very cold where they're going. Hope he gets it in time.
Also I was going through old mail on the last D & my son & the Ombudsman sent emails to the families all about Homecoming activities & id request to come on base, and they gave us plenty of time to plan to make reservations. (Over 2 months before.)
Im hoping its the same this time around too.
Im so anxious like all of you. Uuggghhh!!!!!
:-))

Comment by KImNavyMa on November 11, 2014 at 3:23pm: Here's what I learned last year, It may help....From what I understand our packages are sent and sit in a hanger...and sent whenever. It's kind of like the luck of the draw. They could sit there for a while or get sent not long after they arrive. So it doesn't really matter where they are sent from. They have RAS (replenishment at sea) every so often and that is when they get their mail. (If I'm wrong veteran moms, please correct me) BTW, Happy Veterans Day to all our sailors!
