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 Victoria on January 14, 2012 at 10:08pm: Oh my gosh!!! I hope the navy medical is on point with the kids. That really flips me out.

Comment by Marcy on January 14, 2012 at 7:40pm: Sonja, Congrat's to your son and you too. That is something to be proud of.

Sharon, Wow how young to have that happen to him. I will keep him and his family in my prayers. Good to hear he is doing so well too. He is young though, so he has that going for him too.

Did any of you guys here about the young SR from RTC who passed away last Wed. morning. He was in bootcamp and he was doing PT and he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital and passed away. He was only 19 and from my area. I cant imaging how his parents feel but keep them in your hearts and prayers as well. He was to graduate next Friday. I did not know him or his parents but I do plan to go the funeral home too. Nothing has been planned as far as I know. I do believe he is still in GL for an autopsy to see what happened.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on January 14, 2012 at 6:13pm: Sonja, Congratulations to your son and you too!

Hoping all are.doing well! We have started the new year with some challenges, a friends son who is 15 years old and had a stroke. He has been in the hospital and and will be transfered to Rehab this coming week. The doctors can not get the smiles off their faces due to his amazing progress. He is doing good, and so many prayers have been lifted for him and family. Prayers are appreciated.

Comment by SONJA on January 14, 2012 at 5:50pm: Yay My son graduated from Navy Dive Camp yesterday at Great Lakes, ranked #1 great job! very proud of him, he worked very hard, had several setbacks and finally made it! On to Panama City!

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on December 30, 2011 at 1:06pm: Marcia, I bought two of the Navy warmers and love it. I gave one to Diego and Kels for Christmas. I am amazed just how long the bricks of wax last. I am still on the first one and have been lighting it for over a month. I don't light it when I am doing chocolates, but still have used it alot. Love it!!!

Comment by Marcia Shea's Mom(Ship3, Div367) on December 26, 2011 at 2:37pm: Please take a look at my Patriot Collection of Warmers and other Warmers to enhance the beauty of your home. My sailor has a beautiful Navy Warmer in her barracks room. Please look at https://majesticfragrances.scentsy.us
