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 KC'smom on June 24, 2011 at 7:11pm: Of course he's a sailor!!! We all knew he would do it!!!! Congrats.

Comment by Squeekerz on June 24, 2011 at 7:03pm: Congrats!!!!

Comment by Audrey on June 24, 2011 at 7:02pm: He's a sailor! I just got my call. He is flying high and looking forward to a weekend liberty in Chicago with a few buddies. Thank you so much for all of the prayers and well wishes. I love y'all!

Comment by Squeekerz on June 24, 2011 at 6:22pm: Yes, it's bittersweet. It's kinda sad 'cause being in the Navy is a huge deal, but it's great because he even told them that he wanted to watch his daughter grow up. :)

I'm not exactly sure what the separation is for. He said they told him he was being medically discharged though, and they seem to be being very helpful, which is awesome. :) I'm already a part of Ship 5's group now, and have read that he could be home in as soon as 12 days! :D Yay!!

Comment by KC'smom on June 24, 2011 at 4:26pm: Oh my God!!! I'm so sorry for that. I mean, I know you are happy and he is probably happy, too. So I guess I'm glad to hear your news? What in the world? How did that happen? I thought he was off his crutches? Just curious what the reason for separation is. there is a group for Ship 5 by the way.
