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 Oleander on July 18, 2015 at 7:57pm: Thank you Kimberly and Marianne! I don't know if I could have handled her being as far away as Japan! Doesn't mean she won't go there and beyond but SD was an answer to everyone's hopes and prayers.

Welcome home party planning is in full swing!

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on July 18, 2015 at 4:17pm: Oleander - wonderful! My daughter's first orders were to Sasebo Japan for 3 years! Enjoy your time together.

Comment by Oleander on July 18, 2015 at 1:39pm: Happy weekend everyone. My sailor has her written orders and will be home on leave Thursday! Can't wait to have her here for a few days!

Comment by Oleander on July 16, 2015 at 1:37pm: Hi everyone, My daughter graduated and is officially a US Navy DC! She's very excited, as are we. She's received her orders and will be stationed in San Diego -- more good news since it's only a few hour drive from home!!! She's expecting her written orders by early next week but has been assigned to the USS Pearl Harbor.

Comment by Oleander on June 18, 2015 at 3:49pm: Hi Holly, welcome! Make sure you're on the Boot Camp site as well, there's a ton of support and great information as you go through the BC experience!

My daughter has just begun Advanced Training. If I can help you out with anything don't hesitate to ask.

Comment by Holly on June 18, 2015 at 2:57pm: Hi all my son is in bc and then has A- school in Gl for DC!

Comment by Oleander on May 13, 2015 at 12:27am: Thank you so much MarianneKT's Mom, Kimberly68 and Maggs. I'm honored to be a part of your group. Please know I welcome your advice and guidance. Best to all of our incredible DC's and their families.

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on May 12, 2015 at 8:53pm: Welcome Oleander - My daughter is a DC on the USS GHWBush

Comment by Oleander on May 12, 2015 at 6:57pm: Hi everyone, my daughter's PIR was last Friday, she started A School Monday for DC. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.
