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 Irene McClure on October 3, 2010 at 6:45pm: Laura You might want to check with your Recruiter- He might be able to check on that for you.

Comment by Laura on October 2, 2010 at 11:14pm: Hi purplebarbie...my son will also be on the USS Carl Vinson, but i dont have the address yet.

Comment by MissMySailor on September 27, 2010 at 9:15pm: Hello Purplebarbie, Here is a link to the ships N4M page
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/usscarlvinsonfamily
I would join that group and ask the families on there for some info. Make sure to ask for the Ombudsmans e-mail and contact her/him and ask to be put on the ships family e-mail list and if the ship has a password protected website for families. If they do they will confirm who you are and send you a user name and password. Also search facebook many ships have a page there too.

I hope this helped, Paula
