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."

Please do not reject the good will of 954 lovong Navy Moms and deny us your good will because of the irritating actions of one person.

One person does not define this group.

Comment by DebbieinCA on November 11, 2011 at 12:49pm: Happy Veteran's Day to all!

Comment by Jess_0411 on November 10, 2011 at 5:59pm: Well said Marine_Navy Mom. They have been threatening shutting down my husband's command facebook page as a result of people posting things that they shouldn't. That would be really unfortunate because they post pictures of the sailors and that's the only way we can see them when they are gone. People forget how easy it use to put seemingly useless bits of information together. I've been corrected on here and on facebook for OPSEC violations. I just took it as a lesson learned and moved on.

Comment by paybacks398 on November 10, 2011 at 4:46pm: I could understand if I had named a ship, a port of call or given some kind of details but I dont understand what I did wrong by mentioning approx when he would be back to port-I know better than to give out exaxt info like that, I have been on these sites for almost a year now,but this is the first time I have been called out about something I said-I guess when you get to be older is hard to swallow from someone you know is probably your kid's age. I will watch all your post with interest but I doubt I will be joining in any more-I wont take the chance of causing harm to come to someone because of something I said

Comment by John and Yvonne on November 10, 2011 at 4:39pm: Dear payback,

please don't leave the group. We all have to learn the protocal concerning the military.....I still slip up at times and I'm a retired chaplain's wife...
