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 Paymaster on April 9, 2012 at 10:59am: sunrise....extra prayers for you and your family.

Comment by sunriseglow on April 9, 2012 at 12:50am: Prayers to all affected by last weeks news, which has affected all of Us! Am requesting personal prayers from all of You! Pray that God Gives my Mom what she has waited he whole life ( whatever his choice is!), to go Home to Him! And for my Brothers Heart Brake to Heal, he's in CCU, upon this news of Mom! The rest of us are at peace,OK! Thank you all for your Prayers!, God Hears! :) All & All we All Had a Beautiful Easter & Hope All of You did Also! :) Many Thanks to you All for the Prayers!!!!!! 2 Blue Star Navy Mom

Comment by Kathy on April 8, 2012 at 7:25pm: One last blessing to be thankful for - SKYPE!!! Enjoyed the day with the cousins and extended family, and was able to "see" my DS and DIL as we all enjoyed dessert. I often wonder how Moms and Dads ever sent their sons and daughters off - and many were drafted, not by choice - without the ability to talk or know where they were or what they were doing... only snail mail to keep in touch. As hard as this can be, we are really lucky to have so much technology!!

Comment by Kathy on April 7, 2012 at 11:04pm: Wishing all Navy Moms and Dads a peaceful Easter/Passover! I am sure I will never forget this Good Friday and Easter weekend. Looking forward to skyping with my Ds and DIL tomorrow!!

Comment by Paymaster on April 7, 2012 at 9:48pm: What a miracle that all are safe from Fridays crash.

Do any of your realize that this miracle took place on Good Friday. Man helping man.

Comment by JudyM on April 7, 2012 at 9:46pm: Us too for the empty house. I try to think of them being happy and healthy doing what they want to do (both Navy and otherwise). Thank you all for being part of my Navy family.

Comment by Marianne on April 7, 2012 at 6:43am: Thanks to all of you for the updates yesterday. I think that NI could take some pointers from this group! I got my first email on my phone half an hour before I could find anything on the news. My DS was in VB up to December and, of course, flew out of Oceania all the time. The worst thing about deployment to the far East is that you are dealing with not only the 16 hr. time difference, but a day change, too. I just wanted to call and hear his voice!

Thank God for the presence of mind to jettison the fuel before the crash. Am praying for the pilots and civilians, too.

On another note, any tips out there for travel to Japan? We are hoping to go over around Christmas. I know the weather will stink, but all I really want is to see my guy.

Hope you all have a blessed Easter, or Passover. God bless.

Comment by gonavymom on April 6, 2012 at 11:42pm: Ditto NurseNavyMom. Thanks be to God for no fatalities. It makes your heart stop when you realize there has been a crash and you see those tail fins in the first picture on the news. Adult children are all gone here also but the Navy family is all around and in each other's thoughts and prayers as evidenced by all the traffic in our group today. None of us is alone. A blessed Easter to all, He has risen.

Comment by JudyM on April 6, 2012 at 7:29pm: Kathy, you are right, we are so fortunate that there were no known fatalities. That could be my son someday. It certainly has given me something to think about. My thoughts and prayers are with all those involved.

Comment by Kathy on April 6, 2012 at 6:14pm: I have been thinking of all of you Moms and Dads all day!! I heard this news as I was working in my classroom this morning and I could not even catch my breath for a few minutes. My visit to Lemoore was wonderful, but my son and I did have the conversation about all the risks involved this career. We put our loved ones in God's hands - apparently He was with all those involved today as there are no known fatalities or serious injuries. I couldn't wait to get home and check out this site, praying that all of your sons/daughters were safe today. Thankfully, all seems to be well.
