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 sjtina on March 1, 2011 at 11:51am: donna..some of the other groups have a roll call discussion so you can tell everyone a little about yourself.

Comment by runnermom999 on February 13, 2011 at 1:23pm: If you Google Skype, you can download the software. You then create a user name (tells you to do it). ONce you have a user name, have your son/daughter call you and add their user name to your list. It's very easy. Good luck!

Comment by navy25 on February 1, 2011 at 4:14pm: Hi Everyone, is being a bit I have been writting here eventhought I have been reading when I get a chance alot going on for me health wise since the beginning of the year so busy with lots of visits to doctors and hospitals for tests but I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and to the New Moms on our Jersey Group Welcome and you will be very happy to be part of a very special group of Moms We are Navy Moms and Proud of Our Sailors and everyone is very helpful even if is just a shoulder to cry on when we are missing Our Sons and Daughters.Navy 4 Moms has been very helpful to Me since my son joined back in August 2010 especially during the boot camp days and I have formed friendships with many some I met at PIR and some only by writting to each other and I hope we can somehow meet at a luncheon (ofcourse thats if this Jersey Weather ever gets warmer, Gees I wished I lived in Florida) I would really like that we have talked about maybe April or May and someone I believe Lynda in our group suggested doing it as an event so that it could be organized and those who wish to attend can sign up. I have never done one of these before ever so if there is other suggestions I think it would be Great. to plann this.How is everyone doing with not seen their Sailors today is 1 month since my son went back to GL.Keep in touch everyone Love Maria Navy25
