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 RubberDucky on February 10, 2022 at 3:34pm: Working two jobs has kept me busy. lol And nothing to report on him but lots of training--jumping, climbing, shooting, etc. Is "School" the start of EOD training WaterRetriever?

Comment by WaterRetriever on February 8, 2022 at 2:53pm: My sailor awaits school.
Congratulations.... RubberDucky.
You have been quiet on many places.

Comment by WaterRetriever on February 8, 2022 at 2:51pm: Yes this chat has been quiet for awhile

Comment by RubberDucky on February 8, 2022 at 1:23pm: Been quiet for awhile. My son is celebrating his 4 year anniversary today and just reenlisted for another 4. Four years in and still has not yet had his first deployment. Crazy. He will be going to South Korea at the end of the year. It'

s been lots of training for him. Hope everyone is doing well. I can't believe how the four years have flown.

Comment by prayermom on February 7, 2022 at 11:29am: Thank you so much!!

Comment by Regina on February 6, 2022 at 7:30pm: Prayermom- I contacted my son for the realtor information. He said he would contact her to see if she was available. If she is I’ll private message you the information. It might be a few days with the time difference.

Comment by prayermom on February 5, 2022 at 1:31pm: Anyone is welcome to private message me if preferred.

Comment by prayermom on February 5, 2022 at 1:30pm: Final questions: Any recommendation of a realtor in Guam? OR a recommended complex or condo unit?

Comment by prayermom on February 5, 2022 at 1:28pm: Thank you all so very much for being helpful and also some really interested facts. We are excited for him and anticipate a visit in the future. I will pass along the information.

Comment by Regina on February 5, 2022 at 12:41pm: prayermom- your son should have a sponsor to help him with any of his needs and answer any of his questions. My son used a realtor for his housing Housing in Guam has to approved and inspected by Navy housing too.
