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 pnjegen on June 29, 2010 at 9:46am: I did it, and I posted it on facebook, I wish that there were more than a couple of days. Oh well, there is always August!

Comment by usnavybrat/ Brenda on June 15, 2010 at 4:35pm: My son just had PIR 6/11/10 and he just landed in Fla today. He said he can't get to base until The President leaves ( there for the oil spill). I hope to hear from him soon so I can get the address to send him his life lines! Glad I found this group. Brenda

Comment by Theblackdot on June 14, 2010 at 10:28pm: I think so, he is supposedly then heading towards the Gulf of Mexico re: oil spills, but I'm not sure if these are both on the one trip!

Comment by pnjegen on June 13, 2010 at 2:57pm: Oh, I didn't hear that. Very cool. Will he be on base, actually visiting the sailors?

Comment by Theblackdot on June 12, 2010 at 8:27pm: Didn't know this group existed until just recently. My son graduated PIR December 30th 2009, and has since been in Pensacola. He graduates Aschool early July 7th and my husband and I hope to see him shortly after then, his leave may be two weeks or even longer. He just heard today, you lot probably heard too, the president is paying them a visit June 15th. I am not sure if this is a usual occurence, but, sounds cool!

Comment by pnjegen on April 23, 2010 at 9:41pm: Having his computer and phone was a lifesaver for my son.

Comment by pnjegen on April 18, 2010 at 12:06pm: Wow, that is quite a day... He should get a 2 week leave when he is done with A school before he goes on his first assignment. My sailor's A school is 17 weeks, so I won't be able to see him until August. Being a Navy mom isn't easy.

Comment by pnjegen on April 14, 2010 at 1:04am: My son arrived in Pensacola Feb 6th, and just started A school yesterday! He also was a Grad & Go. I am just happy that he finally started.
