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 velvetlace on June 16, 2012 at 12:57pm: It is going to be 66 degrees where I live by the sea in McKinleyville, Humboldt County. I hope that it will cool off in the Sacramento Valley soon! I used to live in Visalia, so I understand about heat. I am so sorry....too early in the season!!!

Hi there everyone, this is my first visit to the site. Thanks for the welcome.

My son is DEP and leaves Dec 5th. His job assignment is Logistics Specialist. Of course, I have lots of questions but it appears I have found the right place to help get answers. I am already trying to appreciate everyday I have left with him and it's probably driving him crazy but that's what moms are for....lol

My son will be 19 in August and is my youngest of 2 boys. We live in Citrus Heights which is between Sacramento and Roseville.

It's been a difficult road, this decision, not necessarily for my son but for my husband as he has been against it from the beginning. My husband supports the military and is somewhat of a military buff but for some reason was against if for our son. I think its the loss of control myself but he would never admit that...lol. Anyway he is getting more accepting to the idea and as I learn I try to share with him so that by the time my son leaves my husband will be proud.

Look forward to learning from all of you! Have a great day!

Comment by Vickyrun on June 13, 2012 at 6:18pm: Sailor home from the sea, is my guess for that big grin. A'm I right, Tee?

Comment by nvmomma on June 11, 2012 at 11:28pm: Hi! :) Been oh so busy, but I am off work after this week for 5 glorious weeks! Hoping there is another meet & greet coming up soon...maybe after the wedding?
