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 belovedbyHim on October 11, 2013 at 12:51am: Hi Tiffw- Yes it is especially since we are about as far from an ocean as you can get.

Comment by tiffw on October 11, 2013 at 12:29am: Hi belovedbyHim! Nice to have a CO group!

Comment by belovedbyHim on October 11, 2013 at 12:22am: Evening all- Can I join?? I see several names I have chatted with on other pages. My Sailor is in GulfPort for A school to become a BU. I live in Highlands Ranch. My sailor went to RCHS and I have a student at TRHS. I am a CO native who vacationed in San Diego for 16 years courtesy of the US Navy (Hubby was in). I look forward to getting to know you all.

Comment by kanuckone on September 22, 2013 at 6:56pm: Will your youngest be going into the Navy too? Well at least you have your first to show you the ropes! I bet your son knows of my son.

Comment by Proudcomom on September 21, 2013 at 10:58am: Hi Pam and Kenuckone, I am also in Highlands Ranch and my son went to Thunder Ridge as well. He's been in for a little over a year now and is stationed in Norfolk, VA on the USA New York. My youngest is currently going to Thunder Ridge and will be going to boot camp in July.

Comment by kanuckone on September 20, 2013 at 11:19pm: Hi Pam,
No I don't live on High Cliffe, but I understand
there is another Karen with my last name in HR. How exciting for you that your son is in Ca. I wonder if he knew Korbin, or visa versa. What is his job?

Comment by Pam- Jared's mom on September 20, 2013 at 10:27pm: Kanuckone- I am in Highlands Ranch too and my son also went to ThunderRidge. You don't happen to live on High Cliff, do you? If so, my husband is your mailman and has been delivering your mail and I am your neighbor. My son graduated from BC in July, went to Pensacola for A school, and I just left him in Lemoore, CA yesterday. I helped him drive his car there. He is an AO.

Comment by smeesmom on September 13, 2013 at 8:36pm: I'm also glad he's okay and that this lesson just cost him a lot of time and not his life. It's good you didn't have to worry about what second son was up to - a small blessing knowing he's safe, even though you miss him. First Responders saved my life in April so I offer my thanks and appreciation to you all for your sacrifices. You have important jobs and really make a difference in the lives of others.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 13, 2013 at 3:04pm: Wow you had quite the night didn't you. Pray for good weather.

Comment by tiffw on September 13, 2013 at 2:18pm: So glad your son is okay! I can't imagine the fear and stress you were dealing with...on top of doing your job and taking care of others!
