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 Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on March 5, 2012 at 9:11pm: Me too. We did not get home last night until 11:30pm We were fortunate enough to spend all weekend with our daughter. I am sorry that I missed meeting everyone at graduation. My daughter was like we have to go quick, we cannot be in the drill hall after a certain time. Alumni group sounds good. You have all been the best support for me! Congratulations to everyone!

Comment by kryssieb on March 4, 2012 at 1:15pm: Just joined"Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!". Hope to see some of you there!

PIR was awe inspiring! So proud!

Comment by Jess' Proud Mom on March 4, 2012 at 12:34pm: I am so thrilled that I could be there and see all of the really amazing families with amazing, phenomenal sailors!!!! HOOYAH!!!!

Just a question though. My son did NOT buy a photo of himself like some of the others. Is there a way that I could purchase one and how would I go about doing that. He said he didn't do it because he looked bad!! REALLY!!!! My son could never look bad!
