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 JJ on December 27, 2011 at 1:12pm: It seems that a lot of Navy Moms were able to spend some time with their special hero! I got a phone call...best of all gifts. I am so glad that so many moms (and families) are taking advantage of the "pass" at the airport. It is so wonderful to be able to be there when they come off the plane as well as holding on to them until they have to leave. Time goes way too fast when they are home. Hoping everyone had a great Christmas. Next up is New Year's! I see another party coming!!

Comment by Schafam Master at Arms Mom on December 27, 2011 at 9:13am: Just took our sailor to the airport last night, had him for 12 days, he covered alot of ground, sad to send him back, but we able to go to the gate a wait with him. He loves what he does in the Navy, so that helps. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Year.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on December 24, 2011 at 8:33pm: Hey MN NAVY Moms, Wishing you and your families and sailors, a very Happy Holiday Season. Our sailor arrived Wed via Delta, we picked him up at 10:30pm. He leaves 7AMish on the 3rd. Wish he would book flight earlier coming and later going, but just love haveing him here ! God Bless
