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 CAnavymom(MMN) on June 16, 2011 at 11:31pm: tks4, that sounds awesome!!

Navymomx2, bless you! I couldn't imagine all three of mine in the service. I don't need to worry though, my oldest has no desire for military life and my youngest has too many medical issues, they would never take him. I would certainly be proud if they did...but that would be tough as a mom.

Comment by tks4 on June 16, 2011 at 10:49pm: I work at a school. Our third graders performed a show yesterday called Ode To America. They sing all the different military songs and when they sing each one the members of that Branch stands at attention. It brings tears to everyones eyes. Having these 9 year olds sing the songs plus seeing who is fighting for our country is priceless.

Comment by Suzi-OH on June 16, 2011 at 9:07pm: Wow..possibly three in the Navy? I almost wish my middle son would join, but he is such a free spirit.

Comment by Navymomx2 on June 16, 2011 at 8:48pm: So many with two in Navy!! My son is on his ship and my other son is finishing "A" school..I have a third that wants to join.............

Comment by CAnavymom(MMN) on June 16, 2011 at 8:31pm: Marcy and purplebarbie...I don't know how you handle having 2 in the military. I'm having a hard enough time with 1 in bc :) I spend way too much time on N4M trying to find out what all they are going through and what everything means! Thank you so much for what your sons are doing...

Comment by Marcy on June 16, 2011 at 3:59pm: I heard the song God Bless the USA today on my way home from school and cried. I cry every time I hear that song. Some guy on the radio made me cry on my way to school too. They had dads call in and say what they would like for Fathers Day. Most of them where material things but this one guy said his son just left for Airforce bootcamp. He just wanted a phone call. I remember those days so well for both of mine. The letters and all. I kept everyone of them. But he made me think of my sons and I won't be seeing them for a long time but I feel for that guy as well. We all know what he is going thru.

Comment by Tricia on June 15, 2011 at 2:30pm: my son been in for 4year and Iam in wash d.c. and now waiting for him to come home

from deployment

Comment by Victoria on June 15, 2011 at 9:51am: Good luck to you too Marcy, I can't imagine having two out at the same time. We're here for ya :)

@ Gwen, Hollywood is a ways from me, never been there. Where are you now?

Comment by Marcy on June 15, 2011 at 8:58am: Welcome to all the new ones.

Victoria, I know how you feel about 1st deployments. My sailor is going out to sea soon for the first time and my Airman is going to be going to Iraq. I hope your son stays safe and good luck to him too.

Comment by Victoria on June 14, 2011 at 5:01pm: Hello everyone, I'm a newbee from New Port Richey, Florida. My Corpsman son is on his 1st deployment in "A". He's been gone since Feb, but we're all coping fairly well.
