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 Sailormom on December 30, 2013 at 8:03pm: Thanks Joeys mom. Thanks for the advice, I sure will! San Antonio is a great place! We meet some sailors about 3 weeks ago at the Mall and at hey were talking with my son about boot camp. Really nice guy's. I'm sad but happy at same time. He's my one and only, and empty nester at 44. I work full time and married. It just going to be weird without him here!
Thanks again :)

Comment by Frances5901 on November 21, 2013 at 11:32pm: You are not alone. We have all been there. Sometimes that helps and sometimes it doesn't.

Everyone of us has a unique relationship with their sailor.

Keep in touch and let us know how it is going. We will all be there for you.
