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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 3, 2011 at 3:57am: 179 marching in. This is a litttle clearer.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 3, 2011 at 3:52am: YIKES that came out A LOT larger than I wanted it too. Hee, Hee.

I don't think I am going to be a very dignified old lady!

"fourth" I meant 4th of July!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 3, 2011 at 3:50am: Your welcome! I wish I had more!

Wasn't it dark! Ugh, I had trouble getting a decent photo! I will look at what I have again!

Wait here are my toes! Just what you were waiting for, huh?!

I was going to do all Blue and a flag onmy Big toe. My son fireteam 2 (LOL) suggested this and I loved it! I think I am going to repeat it for the fourth.

No laughing at my feet ;-).

Comment by Sonia 02/928 on June 2, 2011 at 10:47pm: are any of your sailors in A School great lakes?

Comment by Sonia 02/928 on June 2, 2011 at 10:46pm: thank you for the pictures you have shared ... it was very emotional a great day...

i'm sorry i didnt get pictures

Comment by MommaCindy(Ship 11 Div 180) on June 2, 2011 at 3:06pm: Fireteamleaderwife, Thanks for the photos. They are great. Mine turned out really dark and I cannot see my son in any of mine. He was Port Watch, directly behind the flags on the right.

Comment by MommaCindy(Ship 11 Div 180) on June 2, 2011 at 2:58pm: Luvn, thank you for the youtube video!! I don't think I will ever be able to have dry eyes hearing that song again.

Comment by NavyMomSue (Ship11 Div 184) on June 2, 2011 at 8:44am: FireTeamLeaderWife - I was unable to meet him at the airport to give him his cell phone and laptop. UGH. My flight left too early. So hopefully He will get up with me and give me his address! I sure would like to hear from him that he is feeling better and his address to mail his cell and laptop. He had strep throat and fluid in his left lung at graduation...I just worry..like all us moms do. :)

goMahvelous - Yes..it is wonderful that you can hear from him every other day! How Sweet.
