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 on August 17, 2015 at 10:51am: Hi all, my son left for BC in July and will graduate in Sept. Any other local moms that their children left during the same dates?

Comment by Kaye S. on March 4, 2015 at 2:02am: That could certainly be true! Ask your son for his section number, then I can tell you. :-) Hugs, k.

Comment by Cerise on March 3, 2015 at 1:28pm: Kaye S. My son is in the Prototype training in BS. Maybe your son is one of his instructors.

I'm on the south-side of Indianapolis.

Comment by Cerise on March 3, 2015 at 1:25pm: Kwilly,

My son is in the Nuke program but I just wanted to say hi, as I'm in Indiana as well.

Comment by Kwilly on March 2, 2015 at 6:25pm: Hello everyone! I live in Indiana and my daughter joined the Navy and is shipping out of San Diego. She was suppose to ship out today but I guess they have been delayed. They are staying in a hotel tonight. Any mothers who have children shipping out soon in this group?

Comment by Kelliann on October 11, 2014 at 8:26pm: Welcome Dorthea! So much to learn and this site is a great place with tons of info. Our son graduates next Friday and I can hardly wait! Just remember there is no such thing as a dumb question so ask away! :)

Comment by Dorthea on October 8, 2014 at 9:04pm: Hello, my daughter just left for boot camp....not sure what to expect this will all be a learning experience.

Comment by Kelliann on September 7, 2014 at 10:13pm: Oh wow...that's great about your son! My son will be a CTR and will be going to Pensacola for A school. Yes, we should get together sometime. Yay for Avon!! :)

Comment by Kaye S. on September 7, 2014 at 4:39pm: Hi, Kelliann! I'm in Avon, too. My son has been in for 8 years now, currently as an Instructor at the sub prototype in Ballston Spa, NY. I'd be happy to have lunch/dinner with you sometime... let me know. Hugs! k.
