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 gonavymom on December 10, 2013 at 1:23am: Brrrr freezing up here in the northwest. Thought you all would enjoy this sweet picture of my Dogs on Deployment dog reunited with her Navy pilot dad after a six month deployment. Maybe one of you will recognize this fine young man? JudyM I think he probably knows your DS as they are at the same base & congrats on the engagement! Little dog could not contain her joy when she saw him, it would melt the hardest heart. All four of my kids get to come home for Christmas! I have made several trips to Boston since the 1st of Nov. to watch my youngest play soccer. She was named the New England Collegiate Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Year! Couldn't be prouder of all of my kids and all of yours!

Comment by Paymaster on December 9, 2013 at 9:47am: TnNavymom....So glad to hear that you made it safe and sound. Enjoy your visit. Looking forward to hearing of your travels.

Comment by TennMom on December 8, 2013 at 8:29pm: Hubby and I made it to japan! DS met us at the airport and thankfully so, it took 4 different trains to get to the base and we never could have done it alone!
That first hug was so surreal, hard to believe we are here. Was a direct flight from Atlanta, 14 hours.
Planning on resting today, then let the fun begin. With 2 weeks we will have plenty of time with DS and site seeing!

Comment by Paymaster on December 8, 2013 at 5:45pm: Suzie...I would like to see a picture of your patch frame too. Sounds like something neat to make for our aviators'.

Comment by JudyM on December 8, 2013 at 2:00pm: Suzie, We will be keeping sunny thoughts for Meridian. I know it is really hard to plan about moving dates. Such is Navy life! Please post a picture of your patches frame.

Comment by JudyM on December 1, 2013 at 4:12pm: Sheila, good thoughts and prayers for you. I know how difficult it must be not to see him since winging.

Kris, great you will be able to spend Christmas with your DS. My DS got engaged the weekend before Thanksgiving. Happily, they will be with us for Christmas.

Comment by Paymaster on November 20, 2013 at 4:56pm: Michelle.....Glad to know that you are safe.

Comment by Michelle on November 20, 2013 at 4:33pm: We had a big windstorm last week, and this tree fell on our storage/emergency cabin. There's some damage to the roof, but the fact it's still standing shows my husband's building skills! The tree was leaning the opposite direction and downhill, which why it hadn't been cut down earlier, and was so big it took us three days to get it off. We are really lucky to have power. There are still 400 homes without electricity a week later and it's -30. Considering all the disasters other places, this is pretty minor.
