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 June 6, 2013 at 10:30pm: Prayers for you and your family, JJ

Comment by JJ on June 6, 2013 at 10:21pm: As some of you know, this has been a difficult time for my family and me. I appreciate all the prayers that have been sent my way over the past few months.

"After a long and hard fight with brain cancer, my sister, Iris, peacefully passed away on Wednesday, June 5th, just two months to the day that her husband, Jerry, died suddenly. I was by her side when the good Lord wrapped his arms around her and took her from us."

Now is the time to look toward the future to mend our hearts and be thankful for our friends and family along with each and every day...come rain or shine. For each rain drop brings a tear and every shine beam brings a smile.

Comment by NavyMomx3 on June 5, 2013 at 8:19am: My sailor was deployed on a sub for 7 months. He just returned to home port in Hawaii recently. We got a phone call from him and he'll be home for about 10 days or so in June!! So excited! He said he'll be renting a car this time because he doesn't think he should always be driving his Mama's car which is a VW bug with the license plate of CINN E. He always took the flowers out of the flower vase when he drove it. LOL

Comment by MN Mom of MM on May 31, 2013 at 10:37pm: Mike's Mom I have a son on the Eisenhower. Last I heard from him they were going to have a port call. It has been a few days now. How about you, do you have a sailor out there with mine? You could send me a message at my email lavenjr@gmail.com
