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 Laura on June 4, 2013 at 2:05am: Hi all! The Northern moms had a lovely meet and greet! I will have another party near the end of the summer.

Maybe we could entice a few central and Southern moms to join us!

Here is a picture of the Northern moms, minus one.

Comment by AngiePNMx2 on May 28, 2013 at 7:12pm: Hey Doreen...yep they all have to do it at some point. My sailor did his when he was on another carrier....then when he got assigned to the RR they tried to make him do it again....he had to have proof from other ship that he did. Thank goodness we had hard copies of his Navy file since they now have everything on line.

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on May 28, 2013 at 6:54pm: Has anyone heard of cranking? My son says it is working in the galley. He has to do this for 90 days. He can't take any leave the whole time. He said everyone has to do this. Just curious what anyone knows about this.

Comment by Laura on May 28, 2013 at 1:47am: Reminder!

My house this Saturday, June 1st @ 1:00 for an appetizer/dessert party.

Send me a message if you need my address or if you decided that you would like to attend. I believe that we have about a dozen attending so far. Crossing my fingers for a sunny day!
