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 Suzi-OH on August 24, 2011 at 7:21am: Cathue - I meant his rate. As in his job. My son is Aircrew Avionics . His rate is AWV.

Comment by Suzi-OH on August 24, 2011 at 7:19am: Kelly - congrats! What is your son's rate? My son was also in Fla. For NACCS, etc and A school. He's now at Tinker AFB in OK.

Comment by Kelly on August 24, 2011 at 5:53am: My son is doing well graduated boot camp now in Fl. A school

Comment by CathieRenee on August 19, 2011 at 5:25pm: Suzi... he is an E-5. He's extended until the end of next year, after that, we'll have to wait and see.

Comment by Suzi-OH on August 18, 2011 at 10:36pm: Pat - my Navy son is 22 and while he has moments of adult behavior.....he still makes some wrong decisions....or some I would not agree with, but his choice to join the Navy has been one of the best he made. I'm not sure there will ever be a time when I don't want to guide my sons or make decisions for them. It's natural when we love them so much.

Cathie - what rate is your son? Does he want to make this a career?

Comment by CathieRenee on August 18, 2011 at 6:31pm: Hi everyone, I just joined this group. My sailor has been in 7 years and is Aircrew.

Comment by Christa (Proud Navy Mom) on August 17, 2011 at 8:54pm: LOVE IT Suzi-OH! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Comment by Suzi-OH on August 17, 2011 at 8:41pm: Pat......sorry it has not been a great experience for your son. I know it's hard for you, too. Just listen to him and let him talk it out....he may change his mind before February gets here. I saw it happen both ways when we were stationed in Norfolk when first married. We even had a couple friends who got out only to re-enlist months or year later. Unfortunately.....our economy is in pretty bad shape. I'll pray for your son...

Comment by Suzi-OH on August 17, 2011 at 8:28pm: OMGosh... have you all caught this video on FB? Molly had it on her page, too....
