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 Christine-OS2 proud mom on November 9, 2013 at 6:33pm: Quiltlady. What a wonderful trip for you! Italy is one place my son never thought he'd see while serving on Nimitz, a west coast ship. So it was a WONDERFUL port call for him. They gave them enough time to spend in Naples & Rome! Now they are on their way HOME!!!!!! YEAH for us! This will end a 9 month deployment for Nimitz and we families are ready for our sailors to be back state side.

Comment by Quiltlady on November 6, 2013 at 7:53am: I was just in Naples on a cruise and saw the Nimitz there. Great place to visit. went to Pompeii and Sorrento to shop.

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on October 31, 2013 at 10:34pm: Navy felt it necessary to extend Nimitz deployment. O.k. that pushes homecoming back, but I don't think there is a single sailor aboard her right now that is complaining. They are in Naples Italy for some well deserved Liberty! So very excited for my sailor!

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on October 23, 2013 at 11:34am: Christian's ship, USS Nimitz, is still on deployment, extended. This was taken a few days ago, cruising the Suez Canal. 100% on watch, a force of global good.

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on October 13, 2013 at 4:52pm: HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAVY!!!

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on September 16, 2013 at 11:15pm: My heart is very heavy tonight, the tragedy in Washington DC at the Navy Yards, is hard to comprehend. My prayers for those souls who are now in God's care. For their families left behind, may they find peace and comfort and know that the entire Navy family stands beside them. For our sailors who are deployed, homecomings postponed because their duty has been extended. Gods speed home! We at home miss you so very much! Fair winds and following seas til you return to home port! God bless our sailors, God bless all Navy families, God bless the USA.

Comment by smeesmom on September 14, 2013 at 4:48am: Thanks for sharing, how cool for him to be part of a great picture like that.

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on September 14, 2013 at 2:39am: 4 years ago this month, 9/25, my son graduated Navy boot camp. This picture was taken at RTC Great Lakes IL while he was in boot camp and used during the annual Navy v. Army football game.

Comment by smeesmom on August 30, 2013 at 5:30pm: AMEN

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on August 30, 2013 at 3:24pm: Prayers for our leaders to make the right decisions in the days to come. Continued prayers for our sailors/marines who will be involved directly or indirectly. Prayers for all families here at home as we worry while our kids are deployed. Let us stick together, UNITED WE STAND; and never forget, we are NAVY FAMILIES. God bless our sailors, God bless ALL Navy families, God bless America and continue to keep her the shining beacon on the hill to the entire world.
