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 Pentwater98 on January 23, 2012 at 7:41am: Good Morning to my Navy Family.. Hope everyone is doing good.. I don't think Mother Nature knows what she wants right now.. Winter or Spring..

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on January 18, 2012 at 8:59pm: Hi everyone, I haven't been on with this group for awhile. I have been busy with Molly's and the Cape since my son is deployed. I just wanted to stop by and say I hope everyone is well and doing fine.

Carol, great packing party. It was so nice to finally meet you and all the other Moms. Amanda and I had a great time and loved shopping up there the rest of the weekend.

Comment by medic mom on January 14, 2012 at 10:11am: Thats great to hear Pentwater. My son just made it to Camp Pendelton this week. He has to go back thru the phases again. He is so happy to be there. We are just waiting for FMF classes to start now. He sent me a picture of him in his body armor. He looked great. I am still terrified that he chose the FMF. I am getting better though. Have a great day everyone.

Comment by Pentwater98 on January 14, 2012 at 9:49am: Good Morning my Navy Family... Hope everyone made it through our first snow of the season ok...

My Sailor is phased up now so he can leave the base, was texting him last night and he was at the mall in Hartford, CT... I am so happy for him...

This is a pizza party at Arlington Park racetrack to salute the troops. Another Navy mom found it! Check it out! I am planning on attending!

Comment by Laura on January 13, 2012 at 3:47am: momofsailor - Next time you go to VA let me know. My son is there as well!

Comment by LeysaNavymom on January 11, 2012 at 10:52am: thank you Madozer for your advise. we talked to our son last night and he will not start his Corpsman class until 5wks. so he is cleaning and working out. he signed up with a group to train for these 5wks to see if they pass a physical for a possible work with Marines. Will see, he seems excited about it. We told him he needs to study hard too. Well we will have to wait now longer until he begins class. Thanks everyone for their info.

Comment by Pentwater98 on January 10, 2012 at 9:28am: Carol I love the picture and happy belated Anniversary..
