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."

Many ways through the Navy to get to that EOD training.

Thanks RubberDucky!

NJNavyMom, click on someone’s name and it will take to their page and you send a friends request.

Comment by NJNavyMom on October 9, 2020 at 2:40pm

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, how do I send a friend request on navy for moms?

Comment by Tory on October 9, 2020 at 2:31pm

I would love to join the group. My son is at Great Lakes starting the EOD journey. RubberyDucky I sent you a friend request.

Comment by WaterRetriever on October 9, 2020 at 1:39pm

Hmmm. I think I will need to adjust my settings. 

 And on which app is this?

RubberyDucky

Thanks for doing this. I might have another Mom to add. Need to see if she is interested. Thanks again. Have a good one

Comment by RubberDucky on October 9, 2020 at 12:36pm

It turns out that I am friends with all of you except ca0503 and prayermom. I have sent you both friend requests. Then going forward I will set up a group. Be on the lookout for some messages from me. Have a great weekend!

Comment by RubberDucky on October 9, 2020 at 12:26pm

Okay. Since I was the moderator of one before, I will give it a go. Each of you needs to send me the equivalent of a "friend request." That's the only way we can PM each other. I will set up the group. I'm so excited to do this! Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Comment by prayermom on October 1, 2020 at 3:25pm

I would love a PM group!
