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 newfmom on April 1, 2011 at 12:51pm: Good Morning All! First of all my prayers and love to all those Stennis loved ones.

I have dear friends whose son is on the student aviator track in the Air Force. Is there an organization such as our wonderful one available to help the moms and dads of the air force kids?? They really need some guidance and I hope one exists for them. Thanks all!!

Comment by SueA on March 30, 2011 at 12:14pm: My daughter will be having her winging ceremony soon and I was wondering if anyone knows what is appropriate to engrave on the back of the wings. We purchased the 14k gold wings and need some advice on what kinds of inscriptions to consider. Thank you for any information you can offer.
