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 wrourke on October 29, 2012 at 12:31pm: My son leaves Nov 20 to Great Lakes anyone else? He was suppose to leave Oct 31 but lost his SS card

Comment by Elle on August 18, 2011 at 2:31pm: Attention please Never ever use BBG Communications (Luxemburg) while traveling internationally this company is a rip off... more importantly don't use your debit/credit card to pay for it they charge like $50 a minute!! I'm not kidding on top of that they charge you several times even if you made one call. This company is found at airport on pay phones.

Comment by lorriemi navy mom x2 on November 30, 2010 at 2:05am: my son is ship 12 division 039 anyone else

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on November 29, 2010 at 4:58pm: Got my daughters address! Shes on Ship 11 Div 54....Anyone else have recruits in this div?

Comment by Cindy D on November 10, 2010 at 10:29pm: It sounds like everyone is doing pretty well! What a year. Mike is stationed on the USS Carr in Norfolk, VA. He won't leave for his first long deployment until April. I am not looking forward to that. It is so nice to be able to call him almost anytime I want right now. It looks like he will be able to come home Dec. 27 for about a week. Can't wait! All those with sailors away from home again for the holidays will be in my prayers.

Comment by Dan's Dad (John) on November 3, 2010 at 9:35pm: Happy Anniversary everybody! Dan is a greenside Corpsman stationed at Camp Lejeune with the 2nd Marines. Here is a photo with his mom after is Field Medical Training graduation...
