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 hanncam on January 5, 2016 at 9:18am: ProudMom7897 It's going to be alright. Even if he doesn't get to Battlestations this week it will still be alright. In everything, God has a plan. There may be someone he's supposed to meet or some situation he is supposed to avoid. As far as Step Dad goes, pray for him as well and don't bring Up the conversation in front of him. If you need to cry, go into another room and don't cry in front of him. Keep your chin up. Your boy is tough and so are you! When you look back these are little bumps in the road. Trust God to straighten your sons path. God bless!

Comment by ProudMom7897 on January 4, 2016 at 10:30pm: My son just called. He did fail PFA and as of right now will not be graduating on Friday. Gets to retake on Wednesday but some question about whether he would be able to do Battle Stations that night even if he does pass Wednesday. Actually failed run by 2 minutes on Wednesday last week and retook today and failed by 10 seconds. I am devastated right now and my husband (son''s stepdad) is being a total jerk about it.

Comment by mamak on December 28, 2015 at 7:05pm: My SR will retake again Wednesday. So we won't see her this weekend.

Comment by mamak on December 26, 2015 at 2:25pm: hanncam, that is GREAT! I'm so glad he got to call!

Comment by hanncam on December 25, 2015 at 10:36pm: Gotta call from my son tonight. It made my day. We only had 2 minutes but it was the best Christmas present of all:-)
He's in RCU right now.

Comment by sammy1990 on December 25, 2015 at 9:00pm: oh good! she'll have this!

Comment by sammy1990 on December 25, 2015 at 5:12pm: absolutely. two laps seems a lot to make up? do they run 8 total?

Comment by MommaK on December 14, 2015 at 8:10pm: darcy4navy.... Good luck to your son! I know first hand how nerve wracking it is to wait for the call. He will get there and it will get better.

Comment by darcy4navy on December 14, 2015 at 12:07am: Great to hear. Just a note. My son takes his pfa test tomorrow , just thought s and prayers for passing score. Thanks and blessings to you all.

Comment by Katheryn on December 9, 2015 at 4:05pm: That is so exciting! Now you can go watch her graduate when she finishes A school. Smaller group but just as important. Congratulations!!
