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."

Well he is on the plane and on his way to GL. The last five days have been spent with family and friends. We went to MEPs and he was sworn in. He was the only reservist leaving, but 9 others from florida were on the the plane head to GL. We took him to the hotel last night and had dinner and then we saw him this morning after swearing in. He was very sad leaving girl friend and us. He called me crying in the airport and my heart just broke. I gave him lots of words of encouragement and hope he will not show that he is scared and nervous once he is there. Thankful for this site and that he can text me.

Starting looking at hotels online to plan for his graduation. Also, had my youngest son away on a high school trip in Boston so the house is so quite.

I am in Miami, FL.
