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 I'm Laurie the Sailor's Mom! on December 9, 2009 at 3:38pm: Yes, about 9:30 am central time. It was an official call because he needed some more information for his security clearance. But of course I had to rapid-fire off a few questions of my own!

Comment by I'm Laurie the Sailor's Mom! on December 9, 2009 at 3:26pm: He also said that letters were getting through to him. Yeah!

Comment by I'm Laurie the Sailor's Mom! on December 9, 2009 at 3:25pm: I had a quick call from my son. He said his letter-writing time on Sunday was taken up by IRONING! I guess we should have practiced that before he left as much as all the physical training.

He said that everything is going really well, except sleeping. I can understand that; it would be hard to go from having your own room where you can control the light, temperature, sounds, etc. to a big room with 88 guys, with all the coming and going every hour for watch, etc. I hope he gets so tired that sleep just comes easily

Comment by mother always on December 9, 2009 at 6:44am: Good morning to all
I wanted to know your opinion on this;I bought me a "heavy" jacket for my trip to GL,it has a hood on,is a plaid jacket and it has a decoration on the back.I did not find a coat,like I wanted,I think is for young people,I'm not that young anymore....
