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 January 24, 2013 at 5:39pm: We have lunch get togethers on a Saturday - usually about once a month. Some have been in Blaine, Bloomington, and a couple in St. Louis Park. Anyone can set one up.

My son is a nuke currently in ELT training in Goose Creek, SC. We are leaving tomorrow for a visit with him.

Comment by Debbie on January 24, 2013 at 5:36pm: Where are the gatherings? And when? What do your kids do in the Navy?

Comment by Kelly Jo~NavyMomX3 on January 24, 2013 at 5:03pm: I have not been on here for a very long time. Sometimes when I don't keep up with Naval going ons I feel kinda like a bad mother. Since I have last been on I have had another child join the Navy and I have moved closer to the cities. I am looking forward to attending one of your gatherings so I will try harder to keep in touch with this page. Have a great day everyone and NMH's to all @->--

Comment by carol on January 21, 2013 at 7:01pm: Lauritz, thanks for the update. I know people in Janesville, I'm from close around there. You are always welcome to meet with us. Once a Navy Mom, you always are :)

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on January 18, 2013 at 9:32pm: NavyMomx3 - Hope things go well for you!

Comment by JJ on January 18, 2013 at 12:57pm: NavyMomx3: I know your recovery will be fast! Well wishes to you.

Comment by carol on January 18, 2013 at 12:53pm: NavyMomx3, I hope that your recovery is quick.

Comment by NavyMomx3 on January 18, 2013 at 11:50am: At this point I am not able to make any commitments for attending a January MN Navy Mom luncheon; I recently had some major surgery and am in the recuperating stage at home. I'm told the recovery period will be 4 - 6 to maybe 8 weeks. I'm pushing for 4 weeks. Time will tell.
