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 chris26mom on January 20, 2012 at 6:27pm: Its great to have other mom's on here. I just wanted to share with you yesterday out of the blue my SR called me TODAY :) I was so excited. I was at work and saw the area code come up 847 and I first paniced then took a deep breath and there on the other end of the phone was my Very tired baby(he is my oldest lol. But I had a mom moment) our call was brief I didn't want to break down in tears. He said he likes it.. kinda chuckeled and said it is boot camp mom. He said that thier group just finished processing and he will get to write his first letter this Sunday. He left for BC 1/5/12 and waited for 4 days for others to join this division. He said they are making alot of beds and folding a lot of clothes. Anyway just wanted to share and look forward to meeting more of you later. Oh also I commented about the weather our area south of Seattle Washington got dumped on last night 18inches and he said that at one point they had 8 inches but it has been really cold, down in the single digets. And that the Navy has issued them some really nice coats and there blue workout fatigues which are very warm.

Comment by Sailor's Mom on January 20, 2012 at 1:11pm: I'm assuming the meet and greets are the night before. I would love to come but I dont' think my flight will even arrive in Chicago until 9 the night before grad. I'm sure we will be on a tight schedule. We have a long way to travel.
