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 CheriH on August 6, 2023 at 8:09pm: Helomom...Congrats and Fair Winds to you and your DS! Love the video! I think you were among the first to welcome me back in 2011 when my DS first got his aviation assignment. I learned so much from all of you who were walking the path ahead of me. Thanks so much!

Hi moms! We have reached the end of the big Navy journey.
Hopefully this attachment from AFN/DOD works.

Comment by CheriH on November 19, 2022 at 11:43am: Congrats Glenni! I remember that day...10 years ago for my son. I still have that pic as his contact pic on my phone. He is on his way!

Comment by Glenni on November 19, 2022 at 10:04am: Yesterday was flight suit Friday for my son!

Comment by Glenni on October 26, 2022 at 9:53pm: Michchat, I sent you a friend request.

Comment by CheriH on October 26, 2022 at 12:47pm: Congrats to both of you, Glenni and Michchat! And thank you for the update on NIFE...it's nice to know what the new acronyms are. They will have quite the experience in their new endeavor. We just had our son and family here for a week; he reports to his new squadron in 2 weeks as a Department Head. What a ride it has been!
