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 Karen(Nick's Mom) on October 1, 2011 at 9:26pm: PIR was awesome! Running to get my hug, didn't see anyone else in the hall. Just my sailor! It was great hanging out in our suite and hearing his boot camp stories, but so sad at the airport the next morning to see him off to Monterey, California for A school.

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 30, 2011 at 5:07pm: Yeah--went to a concert and we raised over $3,000 and 8 truckloads of goodies for the St. Louis USO.

Comment by Sharon-Proud Sailor Mom on September 29, 2011 at 10:16am: Karen - congrats!

DebbieD - MayPort-I'm interested in hearing how your son likes it - my son is in A school and has mentioned that as a place he's interested in. Keep me updated. Thanks.

Comment by Karen(Nick's Mom) on September 28, 2011 at 8:58pm: I'm crying already!

Comment by Kaye S. on September 28, 2011 at 7:01pm: HooYah, Karen! Take lots of tissue... all of us will tell you that when that door rolls up and your sailor marches in, your chest feels like bursting with pride. There aren't words to describe it. Be sure to hug that young man for us, too! k.

Comment by Karen(Nick's Mom) on September 28, 2011 at 5:52pm: I just got a call from my son. I have a SAILOR! Heading up Chicago tomorrow for PIR on Friday. Woo Hoo!!

Comment by Kaye S. on September 27, 2011 at 10:55pm: Matt,

Indeed, I remember you... CMDR Ridings (head of NOSC) told me of your newly-discovered battle. I'm so glad you've joined and offered us an update. Please let us know what your family might need now or in the coming months. I'm sure many of us will have you in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs! k.

Comment by Debbie D on September 27, 2011 at 10:42pm: Hi everyone. I just joined tonight. I am from Anderson about 45 minutes north east of Indianapolis. My son graduated in May 2011 from BC and July from A-school in Great Lakes. He reported to MayPort (Jacksonville, Florida) August 1 and was deployed within two weeks. He is currently deployed on the USS DeWert, a frigate.
