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 nancyp on July 17, 2015 at 8:46pm: Hello, any moms out there with a son at Little Creek, VA? My son has been there since last December. There is a Little Creek group but it doesn't appear to be current. Thanks.

Comment by prayermom on July 17, 2015 at 10:12am: Yes, lots of prayers out for the Marine families

Comment by Karenlee on July 16, 2015 at 6:36pm: If I remember my son came home for Christmas, just turn in to have the Christmas time off and went back before the next leave period. He did not come for Thanksgiving. Prayers out to the Marine families.

Comment by NJNavyMom on July 16, 2015 at 6:19pm: My son usually found out if & when he got holidays off days if not a week or two before the holiday.
He usually got the holidays off, just cost us a fortune flying him home.

Comment by prayermom on July 16, 2015 at 6:05pm: Any seasoned Moms out there who could fill us new Moms in on possible holiday time (Thanksgiving/Christmas) expectations?

Comment by NJNavyMom on July 15, 2015 at 6:42pm: Thanks Karenlee! Going back to Destin/Panama City is my sons hope, one day. I loved visiting there!

Comment by Karenlee on July 15, 2015 at 5:34pm: Have fun at your lunch ladies. I would recommend see your sailor when they are in school. Destin is beautiful and the Naval Museum is fun. My son is hoping to be back at the school house for his next station and we hope he gets it so we can go back and visit.

Comment by NJNavyMom on July 15, 2015 at 1:34pm: DJsmom' I'll see you on Sunday!

Comment by DJsmom on July 15, 2015 at 12:50pm: Yes @NJNavyMom I am planning on it

Comment by NavyM♥m on July 15, 2015 at 12:10pm: If your son/daughter is at Eglin in Nov. I HIGHLY recommend planning a visit to see them the weekend of Nov. 6 - 7. The Blue Angels will be putting on a Homecoming show at Pensacola Beach. Make hotel reservations NOW. I just got back from seeing them perform at Pensacola Beach this past weekend. I recommend going to the Naval Museum also. So Cool! http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/
