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 Proud Navy husband on February 1, 2011 at 1:00am: Sailormom, my wife and i live in Orange Park too. Although she's deployed right now, we're enjoying it here.

Comment by Mari on February 1, 2011 at 12:56am: Just wanted to share with everyone that our sailor received the blue jacket of the quarter award last week. We are very proud of him and look forward to his future success.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on January 24, 2011 at 10:27pm: I bought my son an Entertainment Book for Jacksonville for Christmas but it was pretty small compared with the one we have....don't know why....he like it though. I'll have to wait a bit to see if the coupons are good (he's elsewhere right now)

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on January 24, 2011 at 10:25pm: Suzi, I still expect to see you on Safe Harbor! Bye to both of you but only on this group!!!

Great pic NDJ!

Comment by Suzi-OH on January 23, 2011 at 4:05pm: Looks like I'm following out, too.....our sons have the same path.

But, I plan to hang out just in case cuz we all know nothing is ever written in stone with the Navy. ;)

Comment by ilovelucy on January 23, 2011 at 3:17pm: Well, this is goodbye. The anticipated JAX tour of duty is not next on my son's timeline as anticipated. Thought he would be gliding across the grand state of Florida from PCola to JAX....but was wrong. Must now learn about another part of the country. May sneak and peak at your JAX site at times since I love Florida!

Comment by Kalynn on January 20, 2011 at 11:11am: Yeah, when I asked my husband what's an AD he says that's a mech. lol I like your explanation better! =)

Comment by Kalynn on January 20, 2011 at 12:29am: VP45 party! lol My husband (AE3 Wachs) is also in VP45 an aviation electrician, for those of you, like me who have to ask your husband what's AD? lol
