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 karenmjm on January 4, 2012 at 10:50am: @Janet, is there a quicker way to find you on Facebook? I searched Janet Miller and quit looking for you after about 15 minutes. There must be 1000s of Janet Millers on Facebook. Then I searched Greater Latrobe High school and found two groups, but did not see you in either of them.

Comment by janlee on September 27, 2011 at 6:39pm: luckymom and karenmjm---hope all is well. YES..we are still on this journey!!! My sailor is still in training at the submarine base in connecticut. Hes anxiuos to get on the move. Sometime mid-november he will find out where he will be stationed. Can you believe weve reached this point. Seems not that long ago we were on here scared to death...lol...Weve all been keeping in touch on FB. Please come over and join our group. You can find me at Janet Miller, Greater Latrobe High school, 1982. ....hope to see you over there. there are about 20 of us on there from this group>>>:))))

Comment by karenmjm on September 27, 2011 at 9:35am: @luckymom - best of luck to your sailor! Have faith he'll make it through without injury on try two.

Comment by sherrys (Alumni-Ship 02 Div 911) on September 26, 2011 at 11:13pm: Luckymom... I'm sorry to hear that about your boy... I wish him a full recovery, very soon! ;o)

Comment by adm60 on July 26, 2011 at 9:41pm: All going well here in Maine--a busy season for all of us working to house and feed the many visitors we have. So many folks make their living in this short season we are all bustling! Great news! I will see my sailor on August 1st for the first time since November! He has 12 days leave and will fly here from San Diego! I am very excited---what a change I bet I will see! Hope all are well and I will get to Facebook sometime. Appreciate very much being included and not forgotten. Stay safe and strong all.

Comment by Kellymcd11 on July 16, 2011 at 10:55pm: Hi, adm60.......how is everything? I see you have heard from your sailor. That is great news. We are all on fb if you are interested...we have a totally private page only invitees can find us......thanks to Josie, if you are interested let us know and we will show you how to get on

Comment by adm60 on July 5, 2011 at 9:01am: Hello all. Mama Bear hope you will hear often from your sailor. It is hard to have them so far away I know. Had another call Sunday from my sailor---says he is off the ship and into the town right after liberty is called each day! Has met some SD people and is exploring like mad. Sending cool breezes from Maine to everyone. Barb---doesn't it just make your day to have a word!

Comment by barb(♥MYAO) on July 2, 2011 at 1:42pm: WOOO HOOOO!! Heard from my sailor this morning!! He was able to email me from his navy email account. I don't think they have access to anything other than that. Not sure. The first email was all of two words "hi mom". lol Once I responded he sent another one. The second one was more of a short letter. He did say all is going well. He's learning MCMAP. It's Marine Corp Martial Arts and says he likes it. I was watching it on YouTube. Looks interesting and intense and a good way to stay fit.

Comment by Mama Bear on June 30, 2011 at 11:42pm: Hello Adm60! Good to hear from you! Nathan went off to Bahrain last week and is doing well. Hope to hear more on your sailor soon.
