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 Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on June 24, 2009 at 10:39pm: very true Gloria. Our son called my hubby first when he got the orders and expressed his concern about how expensive it was there and that we might not get to visit him ...his dad told him, he would have picked Hawaii as well.

I told him...I'm just taking the money from YOUR bank account to pay for my trip...I'll see ya plenty!

Comment by Gloria P. on June 24, 2009 at 10:32pm: You are right but its less then alot of other hotels and most don't have a kitchen in them. So if you think about it less money spent going out to eat and more monry to see all the sites.

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on June 24, 2009 at 10:24pm: But isn't everything in Hawaii? Although it would not be my first place to stay, I was hoping that the Navy Lodge had the same rate all over the country. Ya know like that $62 rate at Great Lakes?! Not a chance!

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on June 24, 2009 at 9:18pm: I've already checked the prices for the Navy Lodge ...hoping their rates were universal ...they are not. $113 per night, which I imagine is a great rate in Hawaii...save $$$ here.

Comment by Gloria P. on June 24, 2009 at 8:35pm: Hi Amber my son will be station here coming this August. His sub is going to be the USS CHEYENNE. Also Hi CHERYL.

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on June 24, 2009 at 5:33pm: I'm with ya Amber, we are hoping to go in the next year or two as well...perhaps if we start saving $$$ now...

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on June 23, 2009 at 4:14pm: Thanks April and all...I just know orders to Hawaii will FINALLY get me that Hawaiian vacation at some point. I have done a lay off at the airport but never got to spend time on the island so I'm excited ...I'm saving my pennies now!

Comment by CrackerjackMom on June 23, 2009 at 3:12am: Hi, welcome to all the new members. My son is on the Columbia for over a year.

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on June 22, 2009 at 2:25pm: Hi all, I am joining early as our son is still in C school but he found out last week that he will be joining your loved ones in Pearl Harbor when he reports to the USS Chung Hoon DDG-93. Anyone else have a sailor on the Hoon? I've only ran across one mom so far.
