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 mtnestr on June 18, 2016 at 8:22pm: My son is currently training in SD.....will graduate approx. Dec.

Comment by mtnestr on June 18, 2016 at 8:21pm: I think it's okay to say where he's going.....just not the when, how, and other specifics. Congratulations!

Comment by Grace on June 17, 2016 at 4:35pm: So excited! Our son got his wings today! Wishing we could have been there but he didn't notice in time for us to fly out there. :-( The great news is that he'll be coming straight home before he reports to duty. Are there any restrictions on this site about posting where their orders are for? I'd love to connect to other Moms that have kids stationed where he is going.

Comment by Melissa on June 1, 2016 at 6:42pm: Good deal Jodi - mine was out for a three week training and was only able to get one email out to me. Glad to hear he is able to contact you and that he is enjoying his time on ship. Tell him to take lots of pictures at every port they stop at. One of the guys my son went to hs with is out on the Boxer and he is posting fabulous pictures from all their ports of call. I know it is work, and serious work at that, but oh what adventures for these fabulous men and women!

And thanks Jodi - I am so proud of the wonderful young man he has become. He's worked hard for this and it is paying off.

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on June 1, 2016 at 10:10am: Hi, Melissa. Congrats to your son, that's a great accomplishment!!

Yeah, I been getting a fair amount of emails from him, more than I thought I would so I'm a very happy momma!! He is enjoying it so far.

Marianne, how lucky for you! Enjoy your short time with your boy :))

Comment by Melissa on May 31, 2016 at 3:56pm: Lucky you Marianne - my son missed his brother's wedding because of A School, so count your blessing and enjoy your visit!

And speaking of my son - guess who got promoted on Thursday? Yeah!! Petty Officer 2nd (E-5). He gets frocked on Friday, sure wish I could be there to see it.

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Jodi - do you hear anything from your son? Hope he is enjoy his float.

Comment by Marianne on May 30, 2016 at 11:05pm: I hope all is doing well with everyone. I am excited to see my son in a couple of weeks. He got permission to leave school for a weekend to come to his sisters HS graduation. He will be home less than 48 hours but I will take what I can get. Graduation is still aiming for July but still no idea when and where to next.

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on May 23, 2016 at 10:50am: Ma11-Good luck to your son. Remind your son he needs to stay focused. It's not easy but if he keeps himself focused on the end he will do fine. Get ready Mom to be his biggest cheerleader!
