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 Mary (Chris' mom) on October 2, 2011 at 10:03am: lol Kim, Chris got lucky this go 'round. He went right on board and did not have to "crank" as so many of them have to do. I suppose because he went out mid-deployment and they already had enough people doing MA, ship's company jobs, etc. otherwise I'm sure he might be in the galley or cleaning the heads. Hmm...

Comment by Kim on October 2, 2011 at 9:52am: Mary, mine got his put on facebook when he was "cranking" so he wasn't real thrilled having that posted. I, of course, loved it because they had been out to sea about three months! Otherwise they don't post much with the IS's.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on September 30, 2011 at 8:07am: Kim, Thanks, teehee. I like this one too! I have seen his pic a few times now at facebook or at flickr where his former command posted things happening around the area, but he only recently went to sea. The BUSH is really good about posting pics each week so families and friends can keep up with events (after the fact of course). He has only been there since the middle of August so out of 5,000 or so sailors onboard it was just luck that he got his pic on so early.

I hope everyone's sailors have the opportunity for a photo to be posted. They deserve the credit and recognition. I think it makes them feel good too when they can email or write home and say, "Hey! did you see?..." or "Here is a copy of a pic..."

Everyone have a great day! Tell your sailors, soldiers, grunts, fly-boys...all thank you for their service. A big hug to the moms and dads.

Comment by Kim on September 29, 2011 at 11:07pm: Mary, I would click the "like" button if there was one! Cool picture!

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on September 29, 2011 at 12:48pm: oh...mine is the blonde...doing a post flight debrief with the Lt CMDR j.g.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on September 29, 2011 at 12:46pm: Just wanted everyone to see an IS at work! This was posted at the USS Geo. H. W. BUSH page on Fb so I know it is not security sensitive.

Comment by julieb1019 on September 26, 2011 at 8:53pm: Just an update as per my SA's request based on instructions from the PO I mailed his pkg certified not insured. This way the pkg was held at the post office on base and he went and signed for it and took it. If it is insured it is delivered to his building and he said that he would have to report the contents before he can take the box. It worked fine with military box and a certified label..

Comment by tntsather913 on September 15, 2011 at 12:11pm: Thanks so much for the info...

Comment by julieb1019 on September 14, 2011 at 8:07pm: just checked post office site and you can order "the care kit" at 800 610 8734 and press 1 to order with a service rep. it is that easy and it is free.
