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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on March 26, 2012 at 2:05pm: CLAMOM, she should report the theft to the barracks staff or and/or the barracks Lead Petty Officer.

Comment by CLAMOM on March 26, 2012 at 1:51pm: Oh, the room mate was gone before my daughter got back to the room. I guess she was going to her ship.

Comment by CLAMOM on March 26, 2012 at 1:50pm: Hello Norfolk Family!!! So yesterday was my daughter's 1st day in Norfolk. She had to go take a urine test this morning and her room mate went through her bag while she was downstairs and steals her necklace, make up bag and a whole box of juice out of the fridge. She hadn't even had time to unpack that bag so it was in the drawer under her bed. Who do we report this to???

Comment by ckmom on March 26, 2012 at 11:27am: I wish you the same for the ones that are out and leaving for deployment. Safe return!!

Comment by DebbieinCA on March 26, 2012 at 1:52am: momofbp-Here's the webpage for the base. There are some phone numbers you can call.

Comment by DebbieinCA on March 26, 2012 at 1:41am: Rosa-I'm so glad you get regular emails from Ed! He's a good son! :)

Comment by DebbieinCA on March 26, 2012 at 1:40am: Momofbp- I hope your son has gotten help by now. His sponsor really dropped the ball! That's awful! By the way, bicycles are very popular in San Diego and on that base. My ex-husband was stationed on that base when we met. Unfortunately, that was 25 years ago and things have probably changed. I know someone who may be able to tell me where the enlisted galley is though. I'll email him now and let you know as soon as I do.

here's a link to an organizatin that might be able to help

Comment by Christy on March 25, 2012 at 6:58pm: Going to Norfolk on the 4th of July....does anyone know if the base does anything?

Comment by Video R's Mom on March 21, 2012 at 2:45pm: Have you tried USAA insurance? It is for military and may be cheaper than your current policy. If your son is a rider on your insurance, there is no need to change it. Tags, well, I do not know about that. A quick call to the VA DMV would answer that for you. I could not answer that from my own home state. So I suggest you ask them directly. As far as his drivers license goes, as long as he is active military, he does not have to change it. He can, but he does not have to. I hope this helps.
