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."

Lydia, I think you had mentioned a church your son liked really well in SD - could you mention the name of that again? I'd like to tell my son about it. Thanks!

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on May 24, 2014 at 8:25pm: Congrats, jaxietwo, on your son's graduation. Where is he going after Pensacola?

Comment by jaxietwo on May 24, 2014 at 8:30am: Good morning everyone! Just got back from Pensacola - my boy graduated RSS and is going Sierra - class of 16 guys. He really wanted Romeo but the whole class went Sierra. It was so nice to see him and see how mature he is now!

Good luck with the house hunt Lydia!

And Bayswan I may be asking questions about Sierra!

Comment by Bayswan on May 21, 2014 at 7:30pm: Headed to Pensacola for Sierra "A" school graduation- moved from Friday to Thursday, glad we are traveling today. Anyone else have a loved one graduating Sierra tomorrow? I'd be happy to try to get pics if you cannot attend. Send me a message.
