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 Anti M on May 15, 2012 at 11:38am: Shore duty will depend on whether he's Aegis or non-Aegis. Aegis is pretty limited, he could end up as an instructor. Can't do that for a whole career though.

Comment by Vickyrun on May 14, 2012 at 11:27am: Thanks all, Chrissy is flying back to VA today.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on May 14, 2012 at 2:10am: Vickyrun...hope you're still having fun with Chrissy and still staring! Hope you had a great Mother's Day.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on May 14, 2012 at 2:07am: GoldnG8r...I received the email notification of your post, but when I came here to the forum, it didn't show up. Hmmmm...strange. Anyway...congrats to your son for qualifying on the 9mm firearm! So nice to hear those good updates!

You asked where Christian was going. His ship is out at sea right now, so he'll have to wait on base til it gets back into port...Sasebo, Japan. He started off with a wonderful flight adventure. First part of his fllight was delayed an hour which made him miss his connecting flight. Had to get completely rerouted and spend a bunch of time at airports!

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on May 13, 2012 at 12:10pm: Happy Moms Day all!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on May 11, 2012 at 5:43pm: Vicky...enjoy enjoy!

We just got back from seeing Christian off at the airport. He was upbeat and looking forward to his next adventure, so that kind of made it a bit easier to say goodbye. At least I keep telling myself that! lol. Soon he'll get a taste of what the Navy is really all about. I don't think they can really tell for sure whether they like it or not when they are just going to school. It's off to the fleet now!

Comment by Vickyrun on May 11, 2012 at 10:30am: Chrissy has been home on leave. We are having a wonderful time. She doesn't like to talk about the Navy but that is ok. I understand she needs to relax. it is so great to have her home. The first day was surreal, I kept staring at her. I am so thankful.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on May 8, 2012 at 5:25am: Mary..ProudMomofNick...what ship is your son on?

Went to the movies today to see Avengers, and saw the previews of Battleship...they talked about how they wanted to use as many real sailors as possible, and the sailors were eating it up!

Comment by breuder2313 on May 7, 2012 at 8:23pm: Absolutely! We actually accidentally found this out when my mom was visiting with me out there and was flying out of Midway a few days early! They gave her the military rate as well! :-)
