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 mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on February 9, 2011 at 10:48pm: Congratulations tls and your new sailor. Enjoy PIR.

Comment by tls on February 9, 2011 at 10:10pm: SHE DID IT!!! I have a UNITED STATES SAILOR!! Bravo Zulu to her and the rest of her division 073! Can't wait until Friday's PIR!!! HOO YAH

Comment by kellig on February 9, 2011 at 9:41pm: JJ - if I told him that I wanted him to come, he would do it. Even before the Navy he was always respectful and usually did what I asked him to do but since he's been in, he has done everything without even a question, etc. Including wearing his uniform to go visit his grandma!

Comment by JJ on February 9, 2011 at 1:21pm: Please take in the time change between there and here. May be already time for bed for your hero!! Prayers are always sent. Hope to have a bunch of moms (and maybe a sailor as well) at the get together. Kelli....maybe you can drag him with!

Comment by kellig on February 9, 2011 at 12:26am: Hang in there tls, tomorrow with be a great day.

Comment by tls on February 8, 2011 at 11:07pm: Please pray for Jaime and all the other SRs going through Battlestations tonight ... it will be a long night for her --- and for me ---- :-) Will let you all know when I am the mom of a United States SAILOR!
