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 BridgetteH on January 2, 2013 at 8:46pm: I'm brand new to this. My son leaves for BC on 1/15. I would love to get to know more CO Mom's.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 31, 2012 at 2:39pm: Gail M - you sent me a message before that was very informative that I copied and gave to my nuke to read, anything you can pass on as to what his path will entail is greatly appreciated. We get on the California Zephyr train tomorrow morning and head for Chicago. If you want consider some of you meeting at the Denver station to cheer us on with no delays it would get to Denver at 6:38. You could meet our future nuke. That would be awesome Look up on Amtrak site when the CZ train pulls into Denver (in case it is late.).

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 28, 2012 at 7:44pm: Got the I am a sailor call . can't believe BC is all done for him, wow He will be headed for Pensacola FL after PIR. Then we do all this again with my nuke recruit in April.

Comment by J-RockyMtn on December 6, 2012 at 6:35pm: sorry for the spelling - Buckley & paraphernalia! It's been a long day

Comment by J-RockyMtn on December 6, 2012 at 6:31pm: Hey there Craig - I have a couple questions for you. At our N4M lunch in October you mentioned you work at the Naval facility at Buckeley, is that right?

1. You also said there is a gift shop where we can buy Navy stuff or can us families go to the NEX to buy Navy gear and paraphanalia like car magnets, sweatshirts, etc.? I rarely make it to Aurora but have a good idea where the base is, but not the place I can get any of this stuff so a location would be helpful.

If not, does anyone out there recommend some reliable websites to purchase Navy stuff?

2. Also, my son's ship is still being refurbished and will deploy in the 1Q. There is a lot of buzz on his N4M ship's group about needing ship-to-shore calling cards. Could you explain a bit about those, where to get them and how much we should get for him. People are asking me about Christmas gifts for my sailor and since he has limited space, I figure calling cards and/or fast food restaurant cards would be okay. Anyone have other recommendations?

Comment by Alvarez02 on December 1, 2012 at 6:17pm: I got a phone call this morning:) This makes day wonderful.

Comment by ProudNavyDW&M on November 26, 2012 at 1:00am: I think it is wonderful that Sailors who PIR on Dec 21st can go on Holiday leave right after PIR! I don't remember where I saw that info. but I think it is really nice! Alvarez02 is going to GL...anyone else from Colorado going then?

Comment by ProudNavyDW&M on November 26, 2012 at 12:31am: For Denver locals...Just a reminder that the Women's Connection group that meets in Broomfield on Friday mornings will have registration for the next 5 week session on January 4 2013, in Broomfield United Methodist Church gym 9-10am.

Even a table for those who just want to bring their own projects to finish while they chat. I make the coffee! All adult women welcome--any age! Interested? e-mail me at ToriPS@gmail.com for info. (We already have a member who comes up from Evergreen area.)

Comment by Alvarez02 on November 25, 2012 at 8:30pm: Does anyone have a graduation on 12/21/2012? I will be going out on 12/20 and would like to see if anyone from Colorado is going out too.
