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 WandaG on March 11, 2011 at 10:08pm: Thank you JudyB for welcoming me. I appreciate that.

Comment by JudyB. on March 11, 2011 at 9:23pm: Hi Kathyf and wgiaquinto, Welcome to Navy4moms and congratulations to your sailor for passing PIR and congratulations to your new SR! There are so many groups on this site that I'm sure you will find a group for your son/daughter's rate, your state where you live, hobby sites and faith sites too! You always have family here!

Comment by WandaG on March 11, 2011 at 9:14pm: Hi Everyone, I just joined your group. My daughter is very excited about joining the navy. We're handing in her paperwork next week. Her recruiter is great and we love all the support and encouragement we receive there. I am very supportive and excited for her. She is interested in the arts and media, possibly journalism. My ex-husband was in the Air Force for 13 years and we had a good life during our time. It's all what you make of it. My son is finishing up tech school with the Air Force in April and will be assigned to Germany.
I was excited to learn about this site through the recruiter. I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible.
