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."

janice...

  What a disappointment!  I'm so sorry that happened.  I hadn't heard that.

Comment by janice FC mom on December 3, 2011 at 8:30pm

Leanne- I told my son about the dinner at the VFW and he signed up to go. We watched all of the CSI and NCIS shows together before he left for boot camp.  Just received a text from him to let me know that they were just told that these guys are not coming.  I am not sure why they would say that these people were coming and not have them show up.

gvnavydad.....I know about the starved for pictures!!! We are blessed to have Ash close enough to home that she has spent several weekends with us since January and I still love  all the pictures. 

How nice that someone took the time to send you extra pics.  I don't think it was her but I know she did that with Thanksgiving pics.  Whenever someone liked or commented on a pic she tried to find more with that person.

alwaysdaddyltlegirl...Bravo Zulu to your sailor!!!! And congrats to you too!

I'm sure she is wearing her "crow" proudly! Our sailor is looking forward to PO3, but has to wait til Feb.

Yes...I agree with you...the pride we feel goes beyond our own children/grandchildren. I know I've said it before, but they really do accomplish so much in such a short period of time.
