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 JudyM on April 18, 2011 at 9:48am: The graduation for 09-11 is Friday. I am so excited. We leave on Wednesday. PIR, Hi Moms, and graduation - hard to believe it is here already.

Comment by zaksgranma(OCS) on April 12, 2011 at 4:51pm: Class 11-11 is doing rope course exercises today. Someone was able to post some pictures on Facebook. Reminds me of Summer Camp!

Comment by NavyMom on April 11, 2011 at 6:16pm: Give us a report when you get back LZ27! We want to see pics and all the details!

Comment by JudyM on April 11, 2011 at 5:34pm: I will do the best I can and let you know when I get back.

Comment by LZ27 on April 11, 2011 at 4:44pm: yes thanks

Comment by JudyM on April 11, 2011 at 4:20pm: It does seem like yesterday that Jesse left. Did you still want me to try to get to the nex for 2 leashes and 1 bowl?

Comment by LZ27 on April 11, 2011 at 2:58pm: Have a great trip Judy! It is terrific to hear your words of support as it seems like yesterday when we met and you were full of questions. Hope you have great weather and a safe travel. Can't wait to see you when you get back, of course we want to see the pictures.

Comment by JudyM on April 11, 2011 at 2:17pm: Hi all, my son is in 09-11 and next week we get to travel to Newport to see him graduate. I am so proud, he is the only one to get the "snowflake" award or honor grad in his class. I have read some of your posts and it is hard to realize we were there not long ago. Hang in there, it gets easier. RLP is a big hurdle.
