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 DREW7062 on January 15, 2016 at 1:58pm: Hi my son been in Japan for 5 months he says he loves it there. He misses home thigh. lol but he enjoys it he's in Yokosuka

Comment by Kim on January 15, 2016 at 1:28pm: That sucks Maggs, We are always here for you. Keep us posted.

TLynn, have you looked at a space heater?

Welcome new moms. Everyone's sailor seems to fall in love with Japan. My sailor married a Japanese girl. He is nearby right now on shore duty, but he will need new orders to return to the fleet this year. I wish they would stay close with my only grandson. He just turned 1, but he has a large family in Sasebo to meet. I know they are looking.

Update on bill. The hospital ended up giving him a refund because he was active duty. (I was there and pushed it) They gave him 50% off their bill of $3000.00 and didn't charge for some things. That was really nice of them. However, the vet should have sent them to hospital right away and not charged $1500.

Comment by Anti M on January 15, 2016 at 9:32am: April is such a lovely time there! Might be rainy, take a light raincoat or windbreaker, and a folding umbrella.

Comment by ManCubMama on January 15, 2016 at 2:32am: I have a son that is in Yokouska and he seems to really like it! He loves Japan! We are excited to be traveling there in April!

Comment by Anti M on January 15, 2016 at 12:47am: I did two tours in Yokosuka, and my husband did three (Sasebo, Totsuka, and Yokosuka). For those who love Japan, it gets into our hearts. I miss it a lot, the culture, food, and people. My Japanese friends still teach Aikido on base, I'd love to go visit them again.

LOL, my husband thinks if he were single when he went there, he'd have a Japanese wife and family now.

Comment by angeldi999 on January 14, 2016 at 8:36pm: My son is on his second tour and he chose Japan again. Though he is assigned to the Reagan (previously George Washington) he has a home on land when the ship isn't out. He LOVES Japan. He was ticked off when he first found out he was going there, but he was told by an officer that it is a much loved assignment. The Japanese are such gentle people, he will likely treasure his time there.
