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 spring932 on September 4, 2012 at 4:19pm: OK Ladies... I need some information. My daughter is still in school in Pensacola and informed me last week she is getting married in October (to another Sailor in school with her) Prior to graduation and receiving orders. Happy and Concerned. They are planning a civil ceremony, will the Navy recognize it and station them together? They are planning on going to C school in WA or VA since they cannot be in school together if they are married and these are the only locations for their rate that have 2 schools within close proximity of each other. I am thinking they will actually see less of each other since they cannot have ship duty at the same time.

I have a whole bunch more greay hair ---- what is a mom to do?

Comment by Paymaster on September 4, 2012 at 1:07pm: Welcome ouranchorsaway...You are doing all the right things, writing and being supportive. Please feel free to ask questions here, one of these lovely ladies will know the answer and they are always more than happy to help.

Again welcome.

I have mailed many letters to him.. words of encouragement an update on how me and his 3 month old daughter are doing.. she is growing so much with each passing day.. there's not a day that goes by that we don't think of him.. we miss him dearly.. if anyone has any advice for information.. that they would like to share with a future navywife.. please don't hesitate.. I need all the help I can get.. thank you in advance..

Comment by Paymaster on September 2, 2012 at 6:48pm: Well all my children are under one roof, just not mind. They are all hanging out at Navy son's place. They are having a great time. Wish we could be there with them.

Comment by Vickyrun on September 1, 2012 at 1:14pm: So Jody, are we on for Saturday, the 8th? Mirabella's. What time? I may go see my grandson that day too.

Comment by Paymaster on August 30, 2012 at 6:16pm: Alaina....So how were the hugs?

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on August 30, 2012 at 3:52pm: I was looking forward to meeting you all but cant make the Sept 8th date. Hope to make the next one, though.

Comment by Kellee on August 29, 2012 at 2:18am: Oh geez...sorry for the typos!

Comment by Kellee on August 29, 2012 at 2:01am: Hey! "The box" came later yesterday! First the form letter int he morning mail then the box in the afternoon! I wasn't expecting see get them both the same day! I just left it on the counter until my husband came home (he works swing). I have to say I did more laughing than feeling sad when we opened it. Typical Nick, candy/gum wrappers in his pans pockets, belt still looped to his jeans, of course they were inside out - as well as every other item of clothing, phone charger and ear buds one big tangled mess lol. The dog however, had a blast with the little plastic basketball that he and his MEPs roommate got at Dave & Busters ;o)
