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 Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on June 7, 2011 at 9:13am: Donna - is your son doing aircrew too?

Comment by diannep on June 7, 2011 at 8:49am: Donna: Yes, you can pack snacks as long as all you pack complies with airlines rules.

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 7, 2011 at 8:44am: Patty- my son is going to PCola also. Don't know what day he's leaving yet.

Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on June 7, 2011 at 8:26am: @ Donna - good question!

Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on June 7, 2011 at 8:26am: Hi Sunnyb, Where is your son going? Mine is heading to Pensacola. I hope I get a call soon telling me whether he leaves on Saturday or can spend the weekend with us. I was only going to pack the black bag if he's leaving that weekend.

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 7, 2011 at 8:18am: Can we pack snacks in the black bag we give them at the airport?

Comment by Sunnyb on June 7, 2011 at 7:39am: I have to go put my son's clothes back in his closet. Before he left he layed out everything he wanted me to bring! Ha.. looks like a small mountian and most of it is winter since he left mid April. Oh my.. I talked to the A school moms to where he is going, and they said they can't wear them until about 4 weeks anyway, and most of their bodys have changed so much they don't fit.

Do you all know what your packing in those black bags for those sailors? I got a few tips from some moms if you need them.

Comment by Sunnyb on June 7, 2011 at 7:13am: *wow* Audrey your inspiring..!!
