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 alice on November 17, 2013 at 2:09pm: Hi everyone, I tried to join the facebook page so I would be able to come to your holiday gathering in Hightstown Dec 7, but I don't think it went through( I just joined facebook and still don't have a clue what i'm doing) I will keep trying but is there anyother way to join in incase i can't figure this out?

Comment by Cybermom on November 15, 2013 at 12:16pm: Alice, please ask questions, share, cry, vent, whatever you need to do. Hang in there, it gets better. Make sure you join the PIR group here once you find your son's PIR date (graduation from boot camp). If you want, send a friend request, there are also FB pages for NJ Navy families, and for general questions.

Comment by BethFromNJ - Doc's Mom on November 13, 2013 at 9:42pm: Here's a link to the FB Page for the New Jersey Navy Families. We are having a holiday gathering in Highstown on Saturday December 7th - all are invited. Just become a member of the FB page and ask to be invited to the gathering. Family members are invited too and we are having a $15 White Elephant Gift exchange with just the Moms. I will be there and look forward to meeting/seeing everyone!
