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 Kae'lynn Ship 02Div 916 on June 5, 2013 at 8:23am: I would love to do a meet and greet...I'm 5 minutes away from NOLA!

Comment by Karen on June 5, 2013 at 7:31am: Yay happy to see some activity here! Would love if those of us in the NOLA area could have a meet and greet!

Comment by TJCsMom on June 4, 2013 at 12:03pm: Hi everyone! I'm not sure how I didn't get in on this group earlier...but, I'd love to see this group get active again! I'm from Baton Rouge, my Sailor graduated BC on 4/19 and is currently in A School in Pensacola for AO training. Hoping he will graduate on July 2 and then get to come home before shipping to his next duty station.

Comment by Karen on May 24, 2013 at 7:08pm: Congrats Ann!!! We have so many Louisiana Sailors to be proud of!

Comment by AnnfromLouisiana on May 23, 2013 at 9:20pm: Promotion is official. A brand new LT JG. We're so proud.

Comment by AnnfromLouisiana on May 22, 2013 at 11:56am: Hello to everyone! Great to hear about all your children. We should all be very proud. My son is in Norfolk. He will wing next month. He's an E2C Hawkeye NFO (the eyes and ears of the Navy). After winging he'll be stationed in Point Mugu, CA then deploy for the first time. Don't know yet what Carrier Group he'll be assigned to. He will also be promoted in the next week or two to Lt. JG. Very proud of him. Cant wait to go to Norfolk for the winging. It's been a long road.
