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 Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 12, 2010 at 1:07pm: marine_navy mom - Thank you! I called today and they said that if they are under 18 that they really need a Social Security card, or birth certificate. They will also except the new temp id that doesnt have a photo.

Comment by Kaye S. on April 10, 2010 at 10:06pm: For kids still in school, you can use their Student IDs, if they have a photo.

Comment by Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 10, 2010 at 10:01pm: I went to get my 15 yr old son a photo ID today and learned that you don't get it in the mail for 7-10 days, my daughter graduates this coming friday. My question is will they except the little temporary thing that they get until the real one comes in the mail? My son really wants to go to the graduation.

Comment by Diana on April 9, 2010 at 3:33pm: Waiting patiently...or not so patiently...for my newly graduated Sailor to call so I can go back and get him for the weekend! His division is moving across the street today--just had 2 hours to visit after graduation---but then he gets full weekend liberty!!!!! no returning to the base at night!!!!! soooooooo happppppyyyyyy!!!!!

Comment by Kaye S. on April 9, 2010 at 3:11pm: Hey, "YA'LL!" We will have an honored guest at our next Westies dinner. The chief recruiter for Avon, PO Jason Kohlmann, has accepted my invitation to join us. Plus, I'll be bringing my own personal sailor, who'll be home on leave. So, for those of you who want to tell your friends you had dinner with handsome, single men in uniform, RSVP on the Event calendar! Hugs,k.

Comment by Kaye S. on April 8, 2010 at 1:52pm: Katelyn, be sure to tell us when he's become "real!" Make a note of the time and write the date/time in his baby book. Hugs! k.

Comment by Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 8, 2010 at 10:38am: I should be getting the "I'm a Sailor " call today. :)

Comment by Pat on April 7, 2010 at 5:17pm: Yes NDJ, that "ya'll" and a few other 'words' are imbedded in Kaye's vocabulary.

Comment by Kaye S. on April 7, 2010 at 1:38pm: Jim, there is NO way to get that "ya'll" erased from my vocabulary... I think it's embedded on a cellular level! k.
