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 librarianmom on November 19, 2018 at 3:59pm: Welcome back! My DC has been in Hawaii just about a year. We are visiting in January!

Comment by Stillmybaby on November 19, 2018 at 7:38am: Welcome back! Congrats to your son! My DC son, still a relative newcomer, is stationed in Sasebo, Japan aboard the USS Wasp.

Comment by Wiffer peanut on November 18, 2018 at 8:51pm: Very cool! Welcome back! I’m a month in with a DC.

Comment by slapout52 on November 18, 2018 at 8:25pm: Hi all--After a 4-year break, I am back. My son just joined the Reserve! Still a DC. I am so happy for him.

Comment by Brandi (Trey's Mom) on September 19, 2018 at 3:49pm: My Sailor is an instructor and there will be lots of pictures taken. Your DC will have them to forward to you. Have a great visit.

Comment by Wiffer peanut on September 19, 2018 at 3:45pm: If anyone is going to graduation this week, please let me know. We cannot make graduation and would love to get a photo or two. We are arriving on Sunday to visit and take our Sailor on Monday to get a week of respite before shipping out.

Comment by librarianmom on September 4, 2018 at 4:02pm: My sailor graduated last December, I don't remember anyone having an arm sling!

Comment by Brandi (Trey's Mom) on September 4, 2018 at 3:45pm: The A School graduation is not that formal to have parents there. But so wonderful of you to attend. Did you see an instructor with his arm in a sling? That's my Sailor!!

Comment by Wiffer peanut on September 4, 2018 at 3:34pm: librarianmom Thank you!

Comment by librarianmom on September 4, 2018 at 12:10pm: We went to the DC graduation, it was short and in the hallway, but we are able to get pictures with him and his instructors and fellow shipmates. We were the only parents there, but it was great because we took our sailor and a friend out to dinner and spend a few hours the next day when him.
