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 rsv227-Devin's Mom on March 14, 2011 at 6:39pm: What is the situation like in Guam? My son is supposed to fly out Wed. morning. He called PSD today & they told him that as far as they knew, everything was still a go. He's a bit concerned because he's supposed fly into Tokyo & he also found out the 6 others w/over-sea's orders had them canceled. Needless to say, we are all a bit on edge.

Comment by luvinmatt on March 12, 2011 at 8:39am: twinsmom is she in the navy or a spouse? She can go to the library on base if she wants to use the internet. They have computers as well as wifi. If she is in the navy the single sailor sanctuary is right next door. The nex also has wifi out in the food court.

Comment by twinsmom19 on March 11, 2011 at 10:46pm: My daughter Kate just arrived in Guam 2 days ago, just in time for the earthquake in Japan. She doesn't know how to access internet or how to get around(she is six miles from the hospital. She feels lost and I am a nervous mother. Her twin sister leaves in June for basic. I am having a hard time and so is Kate. This was a big step for her and then with all that has happened, its been rough.Plase tell me it will get better!

Comment by Tramama on March 11, 2011 at 10:05pm: Joanie, when they first arrived, they bought prepaid cell phones to call home. My daughter would take her laptop to the laundromat on base to skype since they had free wi-fi. There are some places that have internet access as well.

Comment by Tramama on March 11, 2011 at 10:02pm: Talked to my daughter earlier today - they were safe but the phone and internet was on and off. My son-in-law was home but was expecting to be mobilized for some humanitarian duty.

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on March 11, 2011 at 9:08pm: Does anyone's sailor call from Guam using a cell phone...if so, what plan do you use to be most cost efficient..He doesn't have access to computer right now to do Skype.

Comment by Mz.T on March 11, 2011 at 11:19am: Just heard from my son about an hour ago... Guam is good. If you are able to text your sailor you should try. Calling is a hit and miss. It passed them. Please pray for my nephew and his family they are in Japan.

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on March 11, 2011 at 7:50am: Tyler has been in Guam for 1 1/2 weeks....never really thought about weather threats...praying fo all to be safe.

Comment by rsv227-Devin's Mom on March 11, 2011 at 7:43am: My son will be arriving in Guam @ the end of next wk. And here I thought Guam was the safe place for him to be. Thoughts & prayers to everyone there.
