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."

My son graduated from Navy bootcamp March 18th and is now in his A School in Pensacola Florida Glad you found this board early in your Navy journey. It will be a great resource and support for you

Comment by WandaG on April 23, 2011 at 2:47pm: Hi Everyone! I just joined your group. Didn't realize there was a group for NY NAVY Moms. I'm from Holtsville, NY.

Just want to share with everyone that my daughter passed her physical and typing test at MEPS on Thurs, April 21st!!! We are both excited! Her body fat is 28%!!!!! She busted her butt to bring her body fat down and continues to do so. Hooyah!! We are NAVY bound! Our family is very proud of her accomplishments and we will continue to cheer her on every step of the way.
We're hoping she will return to MEPS next week or the 1st week of May to select her rating. She wants to be in MC (Mass Communications).

Happy Easter to everyone! :o)
