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 philipmom on September 11, 2013 at 8:35am: Hi Birdsof a feather and others! Last name starts with A. He said he has two roommates who are about to graduate from C school. He REALLY likes it there so far. But I suppose anything is better than BC! He went to the mall this weekend with 4 or 5 others and bought a fishing pole.... That's about all the info I have heard from him!

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on September 10, 2013 at 4:47pm: SouthernCaliMom, You can go to the USPS website and order a whole pack of military boxes complete with the tape, packing slips, and sleeves. They will deliver it to your door. Saves you one trip to the PO.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on September 10, 2013 at 4:00pm: Oh and I don't know about the emails. If Ellen could remember how to navigate here I would love for her to make you a co-admin for the IS page. She has had a horrific injury and is fuzzy on many issues for the past year or so. I don't think she would be able to remember how she made me an admin for the page. I think Anna might be able to figure it out since she started a page too. It's nice for some of the more experienced moms to help out. I hope you will consider helping here every now and then.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on September 10, 2013 at 3:39pm: Blondie, So good to see you over here! Your sailor is enjoying DC? Nice having her back on this side of the world? Maybe someday my son can get back to this side of the ocean, too. lol

Comment by Tina on September 10, 2013 at 11:42am: My Sailor graduated 9/6/13 and is heading to DN tomorrow for A school

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on September 10, 2013 at 7:44am: BirdsOfAFeather, that would be awesome if Pam's son and your son were roommies! My son has given me authorization to announce that he was named SOQ last quarter from his squadron. Yay! Now he is working towards SOY! Way to go Christopher!

Comment by Rock on September 9, 2013 at 9:14pm: Just talked to my son. He arrived at DN on August 17 and he really likes it there. He said he got a new roommate this past Saturday. Last name starts with a T. Phillipmom, would that be your son?
