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 NausetMom on August 31, 2013 at 8:27pm: My son's girlfriend got the 1st call today, 10 + mins He is doing well I am one happy Mom tonight to hear he is ok.

Comment by NausetMom on August 31, 2013 at 8:22pm: Thank you, thank you , thank you for a wonderful day. Did not realize how important it is for us Moms to have a support group. Yes I learned a lot, even though I did not score high on the test.

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on August 31, 2013 at 7:56pm: Now today was a FUN day! I had such a wonderful time. Thank you to everyone for the good food. There really is nothing like being with military family! We are sisters in the same boat - no pun intended.

BTW, someone left the picture of their sailor behind. We think we may have figured out who the pic belongs to, but just to be certain, let me know. I have it and will mail it back to you. (PS Is it you NausetMom??)

Comment by Besties4dogs (NukeMM) on August 31, 2013 at 7:31pm: I also want to thank Johanna and everyone else for making me feel welcome! It is good to have people who can understand what I am going through. Thanks again.

It was wonderful to meet everyone and hear your stories and advice. I left feeling very positive! Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Comment by Chellita on August 30, 2013 at 8:33am: Looking forward to tomorrow!

The time is 11:30, right?

Are you sure, Johanna, you don't need me to bring anything other than a sweet treat?
