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 ProudNavyMom#1 on March 10, 2014 at 2:01am: Oh my Lord, have mercy. Our beautiful boys. Mercy. May he rest in peace and perpetual Light shine upon him. I will light my blue candle right now and pray for him and his family; and for all our boys in Groton and families. Oh I am so heartbroken.

I have not heard anything from my my Son either. I'm speechless. God bless them all

Comment by mrsb on March 9, 2014 at 10:26pm: We just spoke to our son-he didn't offer any info and we didn't ask. He couldn't even tell us what he's learning in school now. Just have to get used to it I guess. I'm just so sorry for the young man and his family. So many prayers are out there tonight.

Comment by FATHOMOM on March 9, 2014 at 8:32pm: Thank you Sub School Dad, this is a very important time to to respect and understand.

I have lit my candle. God rest his soul and prayers to bring peace to his family and loved ones.

Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on March 9, 2014 at 7:36pm: My prayers too are with the family. I finally heard from my son.

Comment by Sub School Dad on March 9, 2014 at 5:48pm: First and foremost, my condolences to this Sailor's family - I cannot imagine what they're going through.

Second and equally as important, I spoke with my son a few minutes ago - I understand they are under strict instructions not to speak about this incident. Unless your Sailor offers information, please don't inquire about it as I would hate to have someone get in trouble for violating what can be considered an OPSEC rule. I hope you understand.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of this Sailor, including his roommate(s) as I cannot imagine what they're going through.

Comment by Annette on March 9, 2014 at 4:15pm: My heart goes out to that family and that poor young man, and all who knew him. I pray for the repose of his soul.

Comment by stylist613 on March 9, 2014 at 4:04pm: Thinking we should all light our Blue Candles in memory of this Sailor and in Honor of his family

Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on March 9, 2014 at 3:57pm: Just caught this info - I have been unable to contact my sailor. Does anyone have any more info?

Comment by Johanna on March 9, 2014 at 1:00pm: I am so sorry for this news. Prayers to all the Sailors.

Comment by stylist613 on March 9, 2014 at 12:47pm: My son said thats where they had muster this morning and nothing was said. I ask him to pray for his brothers and to lift up those who seem to be struggling.
