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."

Hi, I'm new to this site and will be new as a Navy Mom when my son begins OCS on Sunday Aug. 22.   I don't know much about what to expect, but am looking forward to learning!   My brother was a Navy pilot 20 years ago, and I know everything has changed a lot since that time.  I'm looking forward to meeting some of you, helping one another and learning from each other as we support our LOs. 

(This is a huge week for our family as our youngest starts college this week as well!)
