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 CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 6, 2011 at 3:29am: With Cory being so homesick, having been on LLD for his feet and how down he was when I talked to him, I just keep waiting for the ball to drop. I'm happy when each day goes by and I don't get phone calls with bad news. Phone calls I want. The ones where they call just to tell you something bad...NO WAY! So I am WAY thankful when I can count down another day...then another day! He's made it half way! I KNOW he can do this! He's a great kid. And very strong willed and independent! Hoping for a letter and a phone call today to hear that he's doing and feeling better. Please God let those two things be true!

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on July 6, 2011 at 12:01am: Yeah, but who's counting? jk We ALL are!!!!! FOUR weeks down... can you even believe it?! ! ! !

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 5, 2011 at 9:51pm: When we all wake up tomorrow we will be out of the 30's and into the 20's.... WOO HOO!!!

Comment by diannep on July 5, 2011 at 8:06pm: sistersue: So great that he is a "stick." They are up front in the division so easy to see when they march!

I say...better late than never on the making of the bed...when he is home on leave, maybe he can make up all of the beds in the house to sorta make up for some of the years he didn't make his! :-)

Comment by mostele on July 5, 2011 at 7:24pm: Sistersue - since my son is in the same division - he is obviously one of the "great guys" so I'll take that as a complement! I'm sure your son is a great guy too! Well, at least I know how to describe him to my son!!! Good info! :)
