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 whitemountain on August 8, 2011 at 8:46am: oh my gosh Ruth...just checking in after the weekend! CONGRATS! SO proud of her and know you must be dancing with happiness! When will she go to A School or is she already there? Prayers answered! Tell her how proud we all are and send her a hug from me! :)

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 6, 2011 at 5:55am: Thanks everyone! I am so happy and relieved. I think the navy has been fabulous for her. I'm proud that she stuck it out and never gave up.

Comment by randysue on August 6, 2011 at 12:26am: Ruth I am so proud of your sailor! Lesser civilians would have given up! We know our recruits never quit! Things that don't kill us make us stronger!

Comment by Jasmine<3 on August 5, 2011 at 11:31pm: I'm going to San Antonio for Labor day too. I can't wait till then. Only 29 more days

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on August 5, 2011 at 11:25pm: HOOYAH and BRAVO ZULU for your new Sailor HM. Now are we going to see you on the late night news? N4M....HM drives through Navy gate to see her Sailor! LOL

Don't forget to plan for A school graduation too...I've heard it isn't as "grand" but still moving....I'll let you know in about twelve weeks.

Comment by BoosMom on August 5, 2011 at 10:32pm: Praise God Ruth

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 5, 2011 at 10:25pm: ........if you need help, we'll we're here, we can all just link arms and march through, no big deal(;

Comment by CindyLou (Louisville) on August 5, 2011 at 10:11pm: Hahahaha! I bet you will! No stopping a N4M especially under your circumstances. Enjoy your visit!

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 5, 2011 at 8:22pm: Cindy Lou,

You must be crazy if you think I will wait until the break after A school. I'm headed for old San Antone on Labor day, and if I have to break down the gates of Fort Sam Houston, I'm gonna see my sailor then.

Comment by CindyLou (Louisville) on August 5, 2011 at 8:15pm: Whoot, whoot! congrats!!!!!! We knew it would happen!!! That didn't take long. Although it probably seemed forever to you. Before you know it, A school will be over and we will all be visiting our Sailors during their leave! Happy days!!!
