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 Marcy on July 19, 2011 at 2:20pm: I have been trying to get my son to ship his car down to HI. He has been there a yr now and no car. He relys on his friends, I guess. I just want it out of my driveway too. It is sitting here rusting and it is a Kia Sportage 2008. I hate for it to be sitting here and he is paying on it too. Now though, he is on his ship out to sea and so he won't be able to get down there until next year sometime. I may ask him if he wants me to sell it and him buy a car down there. Haven't heard from him to ask him yet though.

Comment by NWDucky on July 18, 2011 at 10:35pm: Hi, My son is stationed aboard the USS O'Kane in Pearl Harbor. He's loving the nice weather!

Comment by Redfly on July 17, 2011 at 4:29pm: We went to Hawaii to help my son buy a car a few weeks ago. We went to Cutter Chrysler Jeep Dodge located at 800 Ala Moana Blvd. Honolulu and Vincent helped us. My son got a nice used car for a great price. We also used USAA for the loan and insurance. They were very helpful. And we put an alarm on the car at Car Audio Tech at 916 Queen Street Honolulu. All the places and people were very helpful. Also make sure to buy the extended warranty and gap insurance on the used cars. Mechanics can be very expensive in Hawaii from what we were told.

Comment by Rhonda8881 on July 15, 2011 at 12:46am: bn4givn - tell your son to be very careful buying a car. There are some disreputable (???) places on the island that will take advantage of new military residents. Have him talk to his shipmates and check with the MWR, etc. before he starts shopping. My son has been on the island for almost 4 years now and learned a lot from his shipmates.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on July 14, 2011 at 7:42pm: Hello! My son just arrived at Pearl Harbor on July 2nd, still going through processing,it's taking forever. Delay after delay! He's very anxious to buy a vehicle so he can get around easier but not wanting to get into debt right away!

jean- what part of TX are you from? We are planning to go over next year after our daughter graduates and will also fly out of DFW , I'm sure!

Comment by jean on July 13, 2011 at 8:56pm: we made the trip to hi in May from DFW non stop

yes it was very long so I took a 800 page book and read alot of it but on the way back i slept most of the way back.

Comment by Cindy on July 13, 2011 at 8:16pm: My son and his wife will be moving soon and this site is very helpful. Can't wait to make the trip to Hawaii.. We are from Louisiana so a very long flight!

Comment by Marcy on July 6, 2011 at 6:40pm: MJ, I just wanted you to know I was trying to send you a personal message and this site won't let send anything. One day it will and the next it won't. Just wanted you to know that I did hear from my sailor it would have been 2am Tuesday morning. It was Wed. their time. He sounded good and happy. He does know your son. He knew exactly who I was talking about when I said his name, LOL. What rank is your son? Mine is a CTR5.

Comment by jean on June 30, 2011 at 12:11am: is he single the MWR has a single area just for single sailors for them to do different activties and the area churches have different activties just for single sailors.
