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 rmwjcpa on June 18, 2012 at 12:28am: Proudkmom-we live in Portland! I see you are in Newberg-my Dad lives in McMinnville. Sounds like your son will have an interesting job. Ours is Damage Controlman. He just finished his A school in GL and is home for a 9 day leave. Nice to talk to someone that lives so close to us. :)

Comment by Proudkmom on June 18, 2012 at 12:14am: rmwicpa- good to hear from you. We are also on the west coast near Portland, Oregon. When our son was sent to Little Creek in April, we were pretty bummed too. We were sure hoping for west coast. It is very far away. Our son is training to work on hover crafts and is almost finished up with training.

Comment by rmwjcpa on June 18, 2012 at 12:11am: Hi Proudkmom- thanks for the info. Our Sailor has a laptop and does not have a smart phone. I am sure he will be able to figure it all out when he gets there. We live on the West Coast and were hoping he would be sent somewhere closer. Little Creek is so far away. He will be on the USS Carter Hall. Thanks Again!

Comment by Proudkmom on June 16, 2012 at 11:42pm: Hi rmwicpa, My son is in the barracks there at Little Creek. He doesn't have free wifi but he does have a smart phone, so that helps. I think they have to pay for that service.

Comment by rmwjcpa on June 16, 2012 at 11:01pm: Hi, My sailor will be there on the 23rd - next week. Does anyone know if he will have wifi or will he need to pay for service? Thanks.

Comment by Proudkmom on June 2, 2012 at 3:25pm: Hi, Is anyone on with a sailor at Little Creek? I noticed that this group hasn't been active for quite a while. My son got to Little Creek about 5 weeks ago and is training for LCAC on board engineer.

Comment by Trevorsmommy9710 on May 26, 2012 at 10:41pm: My husband works on little creek base :)

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on April 11, 2012 at 10:11am: If any of you are members of Seal Moms, would you let me know? I have some questions.

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on March 2, 2012 at 8:57am: My son should be arriving in Virginia Beach late today. He was in PA last night, pulling a trailer with his motorcycle and furniture from Great Lakes.

Comment by John and Yvonne on November 7, 2011 at 7:42pm: Just in case there are any new sailors in this area that won't be going home for Thanksgiving, Yvonne and I have room at our table for about eight to ten. Most of you know that we open our home to servicemen and women on a regular basis. Most of those who fellowship with us regularly are going home. So I just thought we would let you all know that there isn't any reason for your sons or daughters to be alone during the holidays. But do let us know to help us plan.
