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 DebProudNavyMom-Ship 12 Div 260 on July 29, 2010 at 7:07pm: Hi...From Ocean County NJ...my son is just graduating tomorrow july 30,2010..im so proud... :)

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on July 20, 2010 at 5:30pm: Thanks for the warm welcome. I live in Tabernacle, NJ (south jersey). I just recieved my son's form letter yesterday and got his grad. date which is Sept. 2, 2010. I will wait until it gets a little closer before I make hotel accomodations. For those of you who drove to the graduation, How long of a drive was it, and where in NJ did you drive from? I've already written him and his 9 yr old little brother wrote him too. It felt good to hear from him, even if it was just a couple of lines that he was able to write on the form letter I recieved. I guess my next step is to look for a group ship 11 div 298.

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on July 19, 2010 at 2:38am: Hello everyone, I'm new to navy 4 moms. I live in NJ and my son just left for Great Lakes on Tues. I recieved "The Box" on Thurs. that was a lil emotional recieving that. other than that, I'm holding up ok. Can't wait to hear from him. I hate not being able to just pick up the phone to call and say hi and see how he's doing. He'll be in bootcamp 8 wks then school to become a corpsman after that. Just thought I'd introduce myself.

Comment by BethFromNJ - Doc's Mom on June 21, 2010 at 8:35am: BZ to your Corpsman...Is he going green or staying blue?

Comment by BethFromNJ - Doc's Mom on June 13, 2010 at 11:10pm: Thank you Donna, I also surf around the net in bed before going to bed, just to double triple check that I don't miss a message from my Sailor. I've avoided coming to this page because the music came on and startled my Hubby!

Comment by BethFromNJ - Doc's Mom on June 12, 2010 at 9:52pm: Oh don't be sorry...I really appreciate your help xoxo

Comment by BethFromNJ - Doc's Mom on June 12, 2010 at 9:14pm: Thanks Judy..I knew how to manually turn it off, I was wondering if there was a way to disable it.

Comment by BethFromNJ - Doc's Mom on June 12, 2010 at 9:58am: Can someone tell me how to disable the music player?

Comment by BethFromNJ - Doc's Mom on June 11, 2010 at 11:50pm: Hi Dawn, thanks for the info. I'm going to join up now. I'd like to know when you are having an event. I live in south Jersey, Mount Laurel. Thanks
