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."

My sailor has been in for nearly two years and I still do not understand all of it. I just listen and ask question after question.. So now he gives fine details when he explains anything Navy. Hope your son is station soon :). TLynn

Glida! WE have to brag. OK - you are polite, I'll brag for the both of us. Our sons are on teh same ship! That ship just passed a major inspection with flying colors. The ship and crew received teh highest rating ever on that base!!!!! And some of teh sailors received accomendations for their good work. So I am bragging about our boys. When Alex called last night - he was so proud. he said: "Their ship acted as one and that is why they passed." I shared once - those ship are small and they have to really be there for each other. I hope the future MN get on a ship and have teh same good experiences as my sailor and Glida's. I am hoping Ricky - Glida's son was able to take phots. Braggign on Ricky - he is the young sailor who takes those awesome phots and had some even published in the Star And Stripes! Ok- I'll stop bragging. All the sailors on this site are the best! Reason - they all have great moms. Have a great day. TLynn
