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 carols_kitchen on December 13, 2011 at 8:38pm: Joanne--so excited you get to see a sub come home! Wow. Let us know how it is. Beginning to think Andy's sub is never going to be finished in the repair shop.

Comment by Pentwater98 on December 13, 2011 at 4:54pm: Hi there my Navy Family.. It has been awhile since I have been on here.. The last two weeks has been crazy busy.. My Sailor got to Groton, CT on December 3rd and gets to come home for leave starting this Friday until Jan. 2nd.. Going to enjoy every minute of his leave because I know he will not have leave for a long time..

Comment by carols_kitchen on December 11, 2011 at 7:01pm: Welcome Aunt G

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on December 10, 2011 at 5:40pm: I got an e-mail from my son today, really made my day. He has just left this last week on his first deployment. Said he has not gotten sea sick so I guess that's a good thing.
