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 janieflorida on September 29, 2010 at 8:04am: Welcome new moms and Carolyn hang in there.

Comment by karen p on September 28, 2010 at 9:24pm: Carolyn, It is always hard to say good bye to our sailors no matter how long they have been in the navy. Steven joined right out of high school and was my first to leave home. Now 16 years later I still tear up when I have to say goodbye. But one thing I know for sure is that I am so very proud of him and all he has done. I flew to Italy last year when he was promoted to Chief to pin his Anchors on him and I creid like a baby.

Comment by karen p on September 28, 2010 at 9:20pm: Hello ladies, I am also a Florida mom of a sailor.

Comment by d o on September 28, 2010 at 6:51pm: M&M, when our kids signed up to see the world, we didn't really understand that they were signing us up too! 911 took all the fun out of flying. How about a cruise ship...they would get there eventually.

Comment by M&MSMom on September 28, 2010 at 5:51pm: Thanks Carolyn. It was awful when he left for BC. It's hard letting go. The small consolation is knowing he is growing up and trying to make his way, my biggest problem is that it has to be so far away. I found out it's Japan, I can't drive there :). I hate flying, I told my husband yeah I could go and visit if they can sedate me for the whole trip. Just not a fan of flying anymore. I'm hanging in there.

Comment by d o on September 28, 2010 at 12:13am: carolyn, did you feel sad because now they could ship her overseas since she's out of school, or because there's more to let go of than we know yet?

Comment by M&MSMom on September 27, 2010 at 8:52pm: Hello everyone, just found this site a couple of days ago and signed up to post Sunday. And now I'm here. I'm so proud of my son, we've done bootcamp and A school now we're getting ready for oversea's duty. I miss him already. Already feeling sad..

Comment by d o on September 23, 2010 at 4:47pm: Hi y'all, Just wanted to say I'm glad to find a Florida group. My son graduated 9/10/10. PIR should be on everyone's "bucket list". It was a privilege to be able to experience it.
