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 Diane1954 on May 19, 2011 at 7:03pm: Just got our "form" letter today. He is in one of the ceremonial divisions!!! I never expected that. We are really pleased - going to mail that first letter to him today.

Comment by Diane1954 on May 12, 2011 at 6:47pm: Well, #2 son left yesterday & made it to BC. Now is the fun time waiting for the clothes & form letter. He's been home from college for 10 1/2 months. Seems very strange without him here. Two big problems - Dad & our son's cat. She is very lonesome without him.

Comment by Diane1954 on May 5, 2011 at 9:31am: Our #2 son is leaving next week for BC - time sure does fly. #1 son is doing well, so far. At least his wife got there - that's a story to tell at a get-together. I know summer is fast approaching, but are we going to have another get-together soon?

Comment by Diane1954 on March 25, 2011 at 9:35pm: justamom: I know the feeling of coming back from the first deployment. I was fortunate enough to do a Tiger Cruise with my son when he came back the first time. Monday, he leaves for his new command, which is a long way from home

Comment by Tiramisu on January 26, 2011 at 3:40pm: I'm one of the newbies...unfortunately we won't be able to make it on Saturday...I do hope to meet you all soon. We're still waiting for our first letters from our son to arrive (he's in Newport).

Comment by Britt Ship 09 Div 071 on January 26, 2011 at 3:25pm: Would someone be willing to email me their number so I can text and see if you are all still there when I get out of work?

Comment by Sherri (mom of Kirsten) on January 26, 2011 at 3:21pm: I won't be able to make it as I work at 1:30. Hopefully next time.

Comment by Britt Ship 09 Div 071 on January 24, 2011 at 5:45pm: Aww, looks like ill have to catch you all next time. I work till 3 saturday.

Comment by Britt Ship 09 Div 071 on January 21, 2011 at 1:36am: Was just wondering if there was a time set yet?
