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 Debbie (Stephen's mom) on September 1, 2010 at 8:39pm: Jenn, we have two moms here that live in Tinley Park.

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on September 1, 2010 at 8:38pm: Ladies Stephen is still in pain and has not passed his stones yet. Also he was turned down for every base he picked. He was told he cannot go East or West, so that took out HA, CA and WA. So a new list comes out tomorrow so he will see what is on there. He was not too happy. But yesterday he did get a Bravo Zulu from a Captain of a ship, this is his 3rd one. It goes into his jacket and to his boss and highter up, I am very proud of him. They are very busy with all the bad weather they are having so he has been really busy. I am surprise he is at work but they told him he has to work and he is on a lot of pain medicine good thing he can walk to work.

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on September 1, 2010 at 8:35pm: Hi Jenn, welcome to our group, you will love it here. That is so hard to be so far away from the one you love. Ask anything you want and we will do the best to answer them. Well my son is in Italy and he is an IT, he works with computers. He loves it, he is now looking for his next base so we will see where he ends up.
