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 jenmack on May 27, 2011 at 8:36pm: Ken, I love the pic.

My son is an OS that has recently gratuated from A school. His first base is Mayport FL. Just talked to him and he really likes it there. His first deployment is in August.

Comment by jdmom on May 27, 2011 at 5:29pm: cms my son is not sure when class is starting, it depends on the incoming class. Do you know how many OS are in your sons INDOC group?

Comment by cms on May 27, 2011 at 3:07pm: ThanksMom: How long has your daughter been in as OS. Where is she stationed at?

Comment by cms on May 27, 2011 at 3:06pm: Ken: that is an amazing picture. How long has he been in as OS?

Comment by cms on May 27, 2011 at 3:05pm: That would be great if it starts on Tuesday and they are in the same class. How are things going for him so far?

Comment by jdmom on May 27, 2011 at 12:43pm: Ken amazing picture!

Comment by jdmom on May 27, 2011 at 12:43pm: cms my son's PIR was 5/13..I bet they will be together. I know he just moved from the indoc quarters to permanent quarters the other day. Last I spoke with him he thought maybe class was starting on Tuesday.

Comment by Ken-55 (OS Dad) on May 27, 2011 at 10:02am: My son's a brand new OS on his first deployment. He was on lookout duty as they went through the Strait of Gibraltar, here's what he was seeing (pic taken by an officer and posted by his wife).

Comment by cms on May 27, 2011 at 8:14am: Hi jdmom: My son's PIR was 5-20-11. Maybe they are in A school together! Do you know when next week they start?
