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 AndrewsMom ship13, div 245 on July 4, 2010 at 9:18am: Thanks Belinda..I am in Crystal City, south of St Louis.

Comment by CherylB on July 3, 2010 at 1:32am: Hi AndrewsMom. Welcome and good luck to you and your son. We are not far apart I live in Marthasville about an hour and a half away. You will have a great time at his graduation! Feel free to friend me.

Comment by AndrewsMom ship13, div 245 on July 1, 2010 at 5:18pm: Hello all, I am new to your page...my son is in RTC now with a graduation date of 7/23/10. I am so glad to find some Missouri moms.

Comment by CherylB on June 17, 2010 at 3:53pm: HI Lynn. I live just outside of St. Louis. My son is not on a ship but maybe we can still have lunch sometime. I am always game to meet Navy families. I will send you a friend request.

Comment by CherylB on June 1, 2010 at 8:16am: Happy June Missouri! I hope you all have a great, fun and safe summer. May all your Sailors and families be well.

Comment by Melissa mom of Chip on April 20, 2010 at 7:24pm: Thanks Kelley.

Comment by Melissa mom of Chip on April 18, 2010 at 9:30pm: Belinda, I am in Springfield, Missouri. At least for the time being. If I do not find a job here in Springfield, I will probably move to Nebraska to be close to my Navy son.

Comment by Melissa mom of Chip on April 17, 2010 at 1:54am: I have had a great week visiting with my Navy son. I have to say goodbye tomorrow and head for home. Home is not a good place because I was given the news before I left for vacation that my job was being eliminated along with 43 other people.
