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 carol on September 13, 2011 at 6:34pm: Mrs. Andy, my sailor was on the Nimitz on their last deployment. When we went to visit our other son in Bremerton, we got to see the Nimitz.

Comment by NavyMomx3 on September 13, 2011 at 6:29pm: I will be out of town on a work assignment on the 17th so once again I will miss this get together.

My sailor is currently deployed on a sub, the USS Bremerton. Any other Moms out there that have their sailor on the USS Bremerton? His 'home base' now is in Hawaii.

Comment by JJ on September 13, 2011 at 12:15pm: Please come to meet us! We talk a lot about our kids, show pictures (if we have them) and brag! LOL Just a great time to let your hair down and relax. Hope to see you there. Check above for the address and phone number. Will love to have you.

Comment by AmyS on September 13, 2011 at 6:40am: I would like to come to one of these get togethers also. My son leaves on Oct 4th, and my family is throwing a going away party him on Sept 17, so it won't work this time but hopefully in October. Would be nice to chat face to face with other Moms. Hope you all have a great time :)

Comment by kellig on September 12, 2011 at 9:23pm: Well, it's not in the cards for me again this month. One of these times I will make it again. Have fun!

Comment by JJ on September 12, 2011 at 6:50pm: Julie, Has anyone ever told you that after 30 you have to be a little more careful? I should talk...My mother is still trying to tell me NOT be riding around the country on a motorcycle!! Sure hope that things get better. I will send out a special prayer for you.

Comment by carol on September 12, 2011 at 5:40pm: Wow, are you ever active, Julie :)

Comment by carol on September 11, 2011 at 10:53pm: I sure hope that you have a great weekend for camping.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on September 11, 2011 at 10:41pm: My hubby wants to make a last attempt at camping that weekend. Unless it rains I won't make it this month either. Have fun
