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 DsMom2020 on February 3, 2025 at 7:45pm: Thank you Momo. Thank you. I was hoping he’d get engine room time. Good to know tho. Gotta pay his nubie dues.

Comment by MomofJoseph on February 3, 2025 at 4:37pm: DsMom2020, I might have an answer regarding the galley. My son just recently had his first underway and he was in the galley. It was a smaller crew and they wanted to make sure there were extra nukes on board. I don't remember the exact details, but I think he worked two meals and had one meal off. He didn't have duties in the engine room.

I have an OPSEC question and am hoping to private message you but I don’t have you in my friends group. Not sure how to invite you as when I searched for you, you didn’t show up. Can one of you help me out.

Comment by DsMom2020 on February 2, 2025 at 4:09pm: Well, after 4+ years, my son is on his first underway. Praying he “likes” it. This is what he trained for. Seems well prepared. He was JSI. Can anyone tell me what his daily line might be like right now. He said he have galley duty. Is that after working his shift in the engine room? How long are shifts typically. I know he has to work on getting signed off on things in addition to working. He never did get me hooked up with his boat Facebook page. He seems to not know anything about it. I know a while back somebody posted what we need to do to make things easier if there’s ever a family emergency. I put the Red Cross app on my phone a long time ago. Any tips would be helpful.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on January 31, 2025 at 2:16pm: I was at a college basketball game last night and they always honor a veteran at the game. This time it was a young lady that went through the nuke program and served from 2014-2020. Of course I had to go and talk to her lol. She was there with her husband, who also served as an ABE, and her parents. They both were on the Roosevelt. Very nice young lady.
