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 countrywoods on February 19, 2012 at 9:17am: How is everyone and thier sailors?

Comment by JLmom(Lisa) on October 30, 2011 at 10:42am: Hi Ladies, My son also went to Japan, he is on the USS Tortuga out of Sasebo, If you have not yet found it, there is a group called "Japan Moms"an awesome group of ladies, so much support there, just like this group during BC. Hope all is well with your saliors and hope to see some of you in the Japan Moms group :)

Comment by Maine Mom on September 18, 2011 at 8:58pm: Hi amyj96-my son is also in Japan. He is on the USS Mustin. It was so hard to say good bye again and I could not go to the airport to see him off as it was the first day of school for my students. It was probably better that way-I was a mess. I am happy to say I am doing better now. He bought an iphone at the NEX and is able to text me often during his off time. I do not know how mothers did it years ago without this technology! He is going to get a laptop when he comes into port again so we can skype. It will be good to hear his voice and see his face! We will be here for eachother!!

Comment by amyj96 on September 12, 2011 at 9:00pm: Hey everyone...i've not been on the site since PIR in august. My son left yesterday for Japan. He will be on the USS Germantown. I've been sick all day :( I did get a message from him that he had made it safely and had all his bags. I see a lot of others have sons/daughters going to Japan. It seems like June 13th all over again but this time a one year wait on seeing him :(

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on September 2, 2011 at 11:10pm: My sailor will get into our airport soon tonight! He'll be here around a week before heading to Sasebo, Japan. It may be a year before he can come home for another visit.

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on August 23, 2011 at 12:01pm: I'm going to see my husband next weekend!! YAY!!!!!!!!!

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on August 16, 2011 at 9:24pm: Thanks everyone! Gonna miss my boy but I'm very excited for him in this journey! And I'll be one of those hugely emotional moms when he comes home. LOL.

Comment by amberrose on August 16, 2011 at 2:26pm: I seemed to have jumped from one emotional roller coaster to another. From Boot Camp to wedding planning....when will all of this fun stop? :-)
