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 lori on February 25, 2011 at 2:31pm: Joanne, I knew you were gone but didn't know when you were back. This is so hard for you and I 'm so sorry I really am. I'm sure she was grateful to have you there and care for her. I will say a prayer for your mom. And you. Hang in there.

Comment by lori on February 25, 2011 at 2:12pm: Welcome Liz! How are you doing with your son being gone? There really doesn't seem to be very many MD moms. It's nice to add another! Where is Finksburg? I am not familiar with that. Are you on the boot camp group?

Comment by HisMom on February 25, 2011 at 12:44pm: Hello all from maryland. My son is in boot camp now for 9 days. He is on Ship 9 Div 131. Anyone else have someone in boot camp now?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 22, 2011 at 9:16pm: Cindy, that's so awesome that your son will be so close by. :)

Comment by lori on February 21, 2011 at 12:43pm: Monica- thank you! I have never heard of " Ally" but I will pass the info on. He had paid off all his debt while in BC but his credit score is very low. And Navy Fed was quoting 13.8%! Even if his dad and I cosigned and we have excellent credit. I don't think that's right. If they are in the military then they are assured of having a salary. Then they denied him altogether. This is good to know there is another place to try.

Comment by lori on February 21, 2011 at 10:38am: Perfect! Does he report to his duty station first and then come to you? Paul was trying to buy a car and was going to get a loan through Navy Fed but he was denied because of his credit score. He was bummed cause he was hoping to move his stuff in his own car.

Comment by lori on February 21, 2011 at 10:21am: Cindy- awesome news! He'll be close enough to visit or to come home on long weekends! How will he get his stuff here from FL? That is so great! I'm really hoping Paul gets VA too.

Comment by lori on February 18, 2011 at 7:23pm: Did anyone read the article about Bill Cosby in the Post today?

Comment by SR Mom Ship 11 Div 124 on February 15, 2011 at 1:10pm: I uploaded a video from the Feb 8 Swear In Ceremony at MEPS, Fort Meade, MD. I am looking to connect with anyone from the Maryland area. Take a look at the video, I captured many faces that were not my son's.
