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 terbeasch on August 13, 2011 at 1:59am: My son is also on the Stennis for his first deployment and left behind his wife of 1 year and his 8 week old son, so wishing for time to fly for him to be home and yet time to slow so I can enjoy my grandchild while he is gone.

Comment by ProudNavyMomofCorey on August 12, 2011 at 9:45pm: My son Corey left about 3 weeks ago for deployment on the USS John Stennis for about 8 months. This is his second long tour and it doesn't get easier. He got married to the biggest sweetheart a month before he left and I know this is so hard on both of them. I am so proud of him the man man he is today and can't wait to talk to him when he ports.My prayers are with all the families of the men and woman that are on there with him. Thank you for all your doing and your service to our country.I Love and miss you Corey <3

Comment by Lori4629 on August 12, 2011 at 10:50am: we live in Pensacola and a lot of the sailors volunteer on Saturday mornings to come to the pee-wee football field and work for the day. I had the job of picking them up from base last year (my youngest son plays). I always get a kick out of talking with them and hearing them talk. It's a good way for them to get easy volunteer hours and all the free food they want. They also volunteer during baseball season. We have a local minor league team that brings them in to work. The Morale/Welfare/Recreation folks do a great job @ NAS P'Cola. Maybe I'll meet some of your sailors in the next few weeks!

Comment by Ronette40 on August 12, 2011 at 8:54am: Thanks for the info Suzi-OH. It looks like he's already got a concert to go to this weekend....lol

Comment by shoprat on August 11, 2011 at 8:34am: My daughter is her 3rd week of bootcamp and her dad and i just got our first letters. Oh happy day!!

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on August 11, 2011 at 8:12am: Michelle_ Most don't have their cars at A school. They have to phase up to get certain privileges.Phase one would be like being able to leave base but have to be back by muster. Phase 2 might be able to stay out later, phase 3 they could go for a weekend, etc. I don''t remember exactly what each phase was.My son was in San Antonio and said it was kind of like college with a uniform. It also depends on how long their school is as to what privileges they can earn.

Comment by Debbie on August 10, 2011 at 12:26pm: My daughter is out there some where and I pray for our Military each and every day. GOD bless them all

Comment by Michele(SHIP 11 DIV 317) on August 10, 2011 at 12:09pm: My son is headed to Pensacola after BC. He arrived to GL on 7/27 and has PIR 9/23. I was wondering when they will be able to drive or have some free time during A school. His grandmom and aunt live close to Pensacola and would like to visit with him.

Comment by Suzi-OH on August 9, 2011 at 6:53pm: Ronette - my son LOVED Pensacola!! So much to do....as long as you keep your nose clean. Good Luck to him!! My son is Aircrew..AWV and training on the E-6B Mercury at Tinker AFB in OK!

Comment by Maria ( 9/132 - HM- 04-2011) on August 9, 2011 at 6:24pm: Xraychic if I remember right I don't think the first letter was received until week 4.
