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 MarianneKT's Mom on October 29, 2009 at 7:46pm: Joellen - sounds like a great experience to be able to go on the Tiger cruise. How is your whole family going? Did your daughter get 'sponsors' for everyone? Where will the cruise start and end?

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on October 20, 2009 at 6:36pm: Finally checking in after being gone from the computer and website for over a week. Made it safely to Florida (my new home). I will keep in touch and watch for all the news from Michigan. My son, Allen has been told he isn't going to San Antonio until atleast January now. Oh well, that is the way it goes in the military. Things can change daily and very slowly.

Comment by Paulette,Rob's Mom on October 14, 2009 at 9:19am: Hi all, Just a shor t request. Rob is in a bit of a stressful time. Can't go into it right now,but please add him to your prayer list. he really could use all of our mom support. Thanks Paulette

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on October 11, 2009 at 10:28pm: THere is a mile limit from base and I THINK it was 300 miles. Katie thought about doing it when she was in A school, but after having time at home over Christmas when the school shut down, she ended up not doing it. Of course, that also was when they had restrictions after some of the other engineering students screwed up and all were punished.
When we visted Katie during A school, she had to meet me at the gate, then I had to go back to her 'ship' and sign her out for the weekend and then sign her back in when we returned. Other times when she left, she had to go with a group of 3 to sign out/in.
