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."

I did not get to GL till 7:00pm. Missed graduation but for a good reason. Me & my oldest son who goes to BC 12/14 were over at the VA helping to set up for the Veterans parade today. He gets volunteer hours towards the Navy Volunteer Medal.

My son also graduated today. I decided at the last minute to drive up from Ohio.

My son decided to go to Washington for his leave. So it might be the only time I get to see him for awhile.

I have no idea. But my son graduates on 11/6. You know this is weird cause I have 5 kids. 4 boys 1 girl. My oldest son goes to boot camp 12/14. The other night I was talking on the phone with my son and he had me on speaker phone and his roommate was asking my son how to spell mayonnaise. And I started spouted out that I know. So I spelled it for him: MAYO, KRAFT, HELLMAN'S, DUKES. (LOL)

Rozy124,
Are you going to go up for A school graduation?
Comment by momof2sailors on October 24, 2009 at 9:35am
My son is also going to Yokosuka, Japan after A school. He graduates 11/6.

I know it all is. My hubby was raised in Texas. But he loves the mountains and loves to hunt.
