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 SaltyMama on July 26, 2020 at 8:25pm: Hi everyone, Midwest NavyMom just saw your message. I am not on here very much either. Looks like this is an inactive page now :( I do know that the Facebook group is trying to get together but with all the Covid rules no one seems too anxious to get that going.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on June 28, 2020 at 10:28am: It's been awhile since I've been on here. Hoping sometime we can get together, it's been too long!! Hope all is well with everyone!

Comment by Earin on February 2, 2020 at 3:24pm: Hello - I’m not on FB so not sure if this will get through. We have an SR that will be graduating from boot camp on 2/14! Would love to know how active this group is as this is our first military experience in our family and have so appreciated making connections with other moms through the boot camp, PIR, and rate groups on the site.

Comment by JJ on April 23, 2019 at 12:30pm: Not everybody is on FaceBook, so I hope messages get sent over to them. But if they don't that's OK too.

I am hoping that we have a good turn out for Everybody's Birthday on Saturday!

Comment by JJ on December 8, 2018 at 1:42pm: For those that are still on here will get the message and that's all I can hope for. Merry Christmas too all.

Comment by SaltyMama on December 8, 2018 at 9:31am: Hi JJ, I am not sure if anyone is on here anymore! I think a lot moved to the Facebook group. Glad your son got home to visit with Baby Kate! Awesome.

Comment by JJ on December 4, 2018 at 1:46am: Hello....is anybody out there? I hope that all had an awesome Thanksgiving. We celebrated on the Friday after due to my son coming home and brought Baby Kate with him!! Now we are heading towards Christmas. WOW how time flies!

Comment by carol on May 7, 2018 at 5:33pm: Thanks for jumping gingerly!! Take care!! I hope you heal quickly!!

Comment by JJ on May 7, 2018 at 4:04pm: I am "gingerly" jumping up and down with happiness! Still recovering from my cracked knee cap and fat lip due to a fall just after my birthday! I couldn't be happier for all the families of the returning sailors.
