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 Cp7 on February 8, 2010 at 3:37am: I am so happy for you moz321!!!!

Comment by Janie - ProudSailorWife on February 6, 2010 at 8:46pm: My evenings are so much worse. I get down and lonely. I can't wait to see my hubby in 13 days.

Comment by Cp7 on February 5, 2010 at 6:37pm: britney216 and sailors sweetheart all our men go through it. I stay strong and stay as upbeat as I can, but sometimes I give in. Today he called and we both got emotional. he told me he wanted to leave the navy because he hates being away from me and he is struggling. It opened a door for us and we both poured out hearts out. We both cry, we both break down but we both hold each other up when we need more strength. dont hold back if u feel the urge to express yourself, but make sure u are just sad and not mad at him. My husband tells me that a guy he has gotten close to in haiti feel apart yesterday, cried over missing his wife and kids and has been in a funk since. they go through the same pain. be true to yourself, your feelings and ur relationship. you are the only ones who know what you can handle.

Comment by Janie - ProudSailorWife on February 5, 2010 at 12:21am: Tasha yes I like that much better. Hubby always says "catch you on the flip side" to make me laugh

Comment by Janie - ProudSailorWife on February 4, 2010 at 11:43pm: Seeing them will be like a kid on Christmas morning. I'm ready for the hello tears though, not so much the goodbye ones again.

Comment by Janie - ProudSailorWife on February 4, 2010 at 11:07pm: Navywife- Thanks, that is what I'm looking forward to. I'll be nice to have a real conversation and not getting info a week after it happens. I can't wait to see him.
