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 Lorraine on February 2, 2014 at 8:21pm: Ruth, I'm so glad Mike and Casey are recovering. I wish these things didn't happen at all, but these guys really put their lives on the line. The injured Marine who was introduced at the State of the Union this past week had been to Astan 10 times. That is sad. I know you worry about your son being over there. I really hope that doesn't happen.
What a winter. Stay safe everyone. Hope your foot heals, Ruth.
Looking forward to hearing about PIR, Christina.

Comment by Lorraine on January 29, 2014 at 9:55pm: Christina, I do remember you mentioning the position. Your son gets to leave right away, but hopefully you get him for the day on Friday. My son had several days before he went to A school. He's a nuke MM.

Comment by Christina on January 29, 2014 at 9:38pm: Lorraine, he will be leaving for San Antonio Saturday to train for Master At Arms (military police). We are leaving early tomorrow morning to head to Great Lakes. :)I'm so excited.

Comment by Lorraine on January 29, 2014 at 9:19pm: Christina, thanks for reminding us of all our good PIR memories and for sharing your beautiful flowers. Have a great time at PIR and how wonderful that your son will be easy to spot. My son got to play in the band so he was also easy to find. Does your son know yet how soon he moves on to A school or whatever is next? What will he be doing for his Navy career?

Comment by Christina on January 29, 2014 at 7:40pm: I received my last weekly delivery today, at least I think it is the last. He is amazing.

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on January 29, 2014 at 3:19pm: Yvette, sorry to hear about your son. When it rains it pours. Things will get better. I was surprised to hear that the chief called you about what happened. I am sure if something does happen to your sons car/license he can some how prove that he was underway.

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on January 29, 2014 at 3:17pm: Christina, congrats on your "new" sailor. Just tell him he can't call you ma'am. LOL. Enjoy your time with him--it still brings tears to my eyes.

Comment by Colleen on January 29, 2014 at 8:15am: Hey Marianne - how is the weather in the A2 area? I am planning on being over the 2/21-23. Keep me informed. If it's this nasty, I won't be able to make the trip.

Comment by Colleen on January 29, 2014 at 8:12am: New man indeed! You will see all kinds of changes in him. Very respectful, more reserved and grown up. And manners you might have never seen before, right down to you taking his left arm when walking - gotta keep the right hand free to salute. No holding hands in uniform. Remember to take lots of tissues and a camera. And remember to breathe when the big doors open! Travel safe.
