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."

Hi, I am a new Navy mom. Does anyone know if the recruits get training in there area of specialty during boot camp? Just curious

Notice of possible problems - according to some posts in other pages (groups), the account of actual creators of groups have been deleted. This causes problems in that there is NO administrators watching the group for violations of OPSEC etc, or allowing (checking) new members. Since I know nothing for sure, I'm just wondering if this group is "safe".  I thought we were just self-policing once in a group, but it sounds more indepth. I hope we get some REAL advice from the new administrators of the site!

Mine is on the Carl Vinson out of San Diego... preparing for deployment in 2017 (his 2nd).

Mine is in Hawaii. Got to go see him in July which helped since I won't get to see him again until May or June.
