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 joyce on August 13, 2011 at 9:58am: Hi judy welcome; you should start to get mail more frequently. Just keep writing letters. I use to send one out every 2-3 days. His would cross with mine, but I new it was always nice to get mail. One of his bunk mates even wrote me and I would write him too. Make sure you get to graduation if you can, its really nice. My son is now in Va for the next 3 year so its not to far

Comment by JUDY on August 8, 2011 at 6:13pm: Got that first (form) letter today :) She sounds good, thank God!

Comment by JUDY on August 8, 2011 at 7:32am: Hi everyone, I'm from Auburn. My daughter left for BC July 27. Anxiously awaiting that first letter.

Comment by joyce on July 31, 2011 at 6:45pm: just want to pass on that US air does not charge military for baggage. Most of the airlines do unless your duty station is being changed. My son was just home on leave for 2 weeks, went back with a very heavy bag. Just showed military ID and no charge. Dont know if its only good for one bag.

Comment by d well on July 31, 2011 at 4:38pm: Hi my name is Debbie, my daughter Danielle is a FC and is stationed in Great Lakes. She just finished A school and is on hold until she gets her orders to go to Va. for more schooling.

Comment by NitaSewBee on July 28, 2011 at 1:14am: Hi All, I haven;t been in here for awhile, I am from Schdy.. My son was deployed in Japan, but is now back in the states. I can't wait to see him. He re-upped before he left. HE has school then to his new duty station where ever that might be. But its great to have him back on US soil.

Comment by Invisible12 on July 25, 2011 at 8:59pm: Thanks Julie...I need all the support I can get. My son and I just had the discussion about us meeting him at meps for the swearing in. We wouldn't miss it for the world. I'll be a complete mess when I have to leave. Has it gotten easier for you?

Comment by julieb1019 on July 25, 2011 at 8:28pm: Invisible12 you can have dinner at hotel the night before meps and then you can go to meps the next morning for swearing in and then hang out a little before families leave.there were 12 SR that morning your SR can have the cell phone and text you throughout the trip then use it for the I am here call and then it comes home via fedex.
