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."

Did you know that New Orleans is hosting a Fleet Week in Spring 2012?

Is their something we can do? Is there someone to contact to see what volunteer opportunities we might participate in? I would love to do something!

My sailor is stationed in Japan and says things in Yokosuka are pretty much back to normal.

Comment by camenae on March 8, 2011 at 4:24am: msmom, let me know if you hear of a meet and greet. My husband gets out of A school in June so we'll be moving then.

Comment by msmom on March 7, 2011 at 3:29am: Hi camenae! I'm ready for meet n greet in New Orleans. Yeah, I recently said I was ready in Baton Rouge. I work in BR and live in NO when I'm off - my 'new normal' since Katrina.

Comment by myboysmom(Ship09/Div078) on March 6, 2011 at 3:31pm: Hi everyone,

I haven't been on this page in quite a while. I live outside of Baton Rouge. When my son was a DEPPER last May-Dec. we had very few from La. that would check in. My son has just finished bc and is D.C. training for honor guard. Glad to hear there are many others on here now from Louisiana especially the BR area. Hi to everyone!!
