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 Phillies on February 16, 2012 at 9:57am: Words of wisdom.... Anything can happen and be prepared for a setback. By preparing yourself for a setback will save you lots o heartache if it does happen. Stress Fractures are very common. My daughter was to graduate on Dec 6 and she is still there. It has been quite a ride but it is all good. I just don't want momma's hurting too much if their SR gets hurt.

Comment by peggyproudnavymom on February 16, 2012 at 9:47am: My 22 yr old son went in 11 days ago and it feels like forever ago. I now know what it means to be "beside myself". Even though he was at college for four years and I thought that I had already "let go and Let God", this is hard. I got the I am here call and the box and the form letter so all is going as it should but its hard. Knowing that graduation is at the end of the tunnel is my saving grace. I am so proud of him for making this decision and I am so excited that God willing I will see him a SAILOR in a few weeks. I know the only way to get there is to let go and let God again..all day and all night long!
