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 M's mom on March 21, 2012 at 8:27pm: Hello Hoosier moms! I'm a newbie. My son will graduate from college on May 12, 2012, and start OCS Newport on June 17th. What's funny is that some of our friends can't figure out why an Indiana farm boy would want to join the NAVY, of all the services! He has a grandfather and two uncles who were sailors, but he has always been fascinated with submarines. Alas, his recruiter told him that officer positions on subs were full right now, so he got his second choice, which was flight school. Go figure. I should never have watched those videos on YouTube about Navy OCS. It looks absolutely grueling. I don't think I could put up with it, but my son assures me that he knows what he is getting into. I hope he gets through it. Any words of encouragement from veteran OCS moms?
