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 lmnadelady on April 30, 2014 at 4:05pm: Divontes Mom, I was visiting my son in Norfolk when there were tornado warnings. No wind, no anything..it was a great weekend

Allie1928 My son will be finishing up training on his second plane in Norfolk mid May and then he is off to CA. He is excited, traveling across the country on a motorcycle. Keeps me on my knees praying :)

Comment by HuskyMom on April 28, 2014 at 7:49am: Waiting to class up is normal! Don't worry they take care of our Sailors during weather threats and will evacuate their base if needed. Found this out while my son was in Florida. You can follow their base on Facebook if you are on there. They'll give updates on events and what's going on around base. I actually told my son there was a tornado watch in Norfolk the other day before he knew. But, he's a home body, so he didn't know there were high winds or hail because he hadn't left his barracks that day.

Comment by Psalm150.1.6 on April 27, 2014 at 11:43pm: Six days to go! My date is May 6th, but I his recruiter told me he leaves May 5th for processing. He will ship out that night. We are giving him a Anchors Aweigh party saturday. Please pray for me. I took this week off to spend time with him.

Comment by encourager on April 27, 2014 at 8:15pm: My Sailor's PIR was 04-04-14 and he seems stuck in Meridian MS waiting to class up. I feel a little tender since tornado season is starting up but he said he has received training on what to do.
