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 MAMA_C on January 22, 2015 at 3:22pm: I hope they win!

Comment by Michiganbelle on January 20, 2015 at 11:13pm: That is awesome!! I think every ship should tap their talents like the Carl Vincent did to make these updates! So cool their hard work is being rewarded, that video really gives a clear picture to deployment thanks so much for sharing!

Comment by HuskyMom on January 20, 2015 at 4:23pm: That's awesome! I love their news updates!

Comment by therevbev on January 20, 2015 at 11:13am: Just got a chance to see 10 seconds of my son serving in the galley of the Carl Vinson during the inspection for the Ney award. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIu46NWRcHk

Here's hoping the Vinson wins!

Comment by Michiganbelle on January 13, 2015 at 7:00am: You guys are the BEST!!! I am sharing this with her so she can share it with the rest of her crew!!

Comment by HuskyMom on January 12, 2015 at 8:43am: My husband was in the Marines & he told both of my boys - your 2 best friends in the Navy will be the cook & the supply person. Don't piss them off or they'll make your life miserable. I'm sorry your Sailor is experiencing issues & it stinks that the CS's are being treated that way. Without the CS's they can't survive.

Comment by Michiganbelle on January 12, 2015 at 3:17am: Got a call today from my deployed CS daughter. Again she mentioned the negative treatment that the CS crew get from so many of the other crew on the ship. She says a lot of it comes from the fact that they don't stand watch?, but they work long hard hours and as far as I am concerned are VERY under appreciated!! I wish the Navy did more to encourage a better attitude toward the CS's, although my daughter said she HAS heard the chiefs address the situation to the other sailors, but it pretty much falls on deaf ears!

Comment by HuskyMom on January 11, 2015 at 7:34pm: Thank you, he was sick & ended up dehydrated. He went to the hospital, was put on an IV and now feels much better & is doing really well in A School.
