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 ProudMama (ship 2 div 937) on July 29, 2012 at 9:56pm: Our son has been on his first deployment since June 17th. He was able to email us once on the 23rd of June. We don't know where he is or when he will be back. Praying every day and trying not to worry.

Comment by KC'smom on July 29, 2012 at 8:58pm: Exactly 1 year ago today, our loved ones became U.S. Sailors!! So proud, still! (mine is still in A school, though on the other side of America so I don't get to see him)

Comment by KC'smom on December 6, 2011 at 11:47am: KC will be home for 2 weeks. Its just like college where he is - they get a Christmas break. But that's it. No summers off!!

And oh boy! 8 months, huh? Geeeeeeesh. Get ready mom!!!!!

Comment by Kathy-3/235 on December 5, 2011 at 11:58pm: Hi KC's mom; I'm so happy for you; how long will he be home? Does he call you?

I have been so fortunate to have my son home for Thanksgiviing and as of right now, he should be home for Christmas.

He will be leaving in January for eight months. We are not able to know where he is going.

I hope you have a blessed Christmas.

Comment by KC'smom on December 5, 2011 at 6:15pm: 10 days 12 hours 45 minutes and 12 seconds til I see "KC"! so exicted! Haven't seen him since those whole whopping 9 hours at PIR!!

Comment by CindyLou (Louisville) on November 7, 2011 at 9:24am: It has been a long time! Nice to hear from everyone! My son still has another 1 1/2 years of training in S.C. before he goes anywhere. I am just looking forward to seeing him during Christmas stand down. It will be the first time since PIR. Good luck to everyone and their sailors! God bless them as they spread over the country and the world serving our country!

Comment by randysue on November 7, 2011 at 8:56am: HI everyone!!!!! I thought we might all go our own ways after graduation. I am so glad to see parents on the board! Our son is fabulous!!!! He and his bride are nicely settled on Coronado Island . He left on a short 3 week float and leaves for 6 months on Dec 6. He and his bride have really blossomed... they were always fun but now it's cute to see them making "married decisions"... dates, budgets, time management. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving all!! Oh yeah, one of thiose decisions they made.... we were asking about Thanksgiving time slots... Now married they have in laws, outlaws, grandparents to visit and so do both sides of the family with other grown kids.... our son's request/solution? Thanksgiving breakfast!! We will have our whole family over for waffles, ham, eggs, sausage, rolls....whatever... BRILLIANT!!!!! dishes done and put away by 11 am!!!! leftiovers all day and relax!!! Gotta love it!!!!
