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 Diana PIR 11/12/10 on October 1, 2010 at 1:44pm: Just a quick reminder moms, try to keep the names of our recruits to a minimum on the site....It's a public site and it's better safe than sorry. This is why I ended up even changing my profile name and took my son's name out of it.

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 1, 2010 at 1:26pm: great!!

Comment by NAVYMOM 2010 (Montez's Mom) on October 1, 2010 at 12:56pm: Just wrote my son to find out who are the recruits that dont get mail or just need that little extra encouragement. I have cards standing by just waiting for their information.

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 1, 2010 at 12:31pm: I know what you mean! Its really such a wonderful thing these son/ daughters/ husbands wives are doing and we need to support all of them as much as possible. what ship and div is your son in??

Comment by Devin'sMom (Ship 11 / Div 367) on October 1, 2010 at 12:16pm: I'm going to send off a letter to Devin today letting him know. So far, I have over 25 responses from people here at work that would love to support these kids...even after boot camp. Sometimes, people really surprise me...it makes your heart feel really good!

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 1, 2010 at 11:49am: I sent my husband a letter and told him to let us know who doesnt get alot so we can sent them cards and stuff to encourage them.... Please makes sure you write your recruits to tell them what we are doing!

Comment by Devin'sMom (Ship 11 / Div 367) on October 1, 2010 at 11:29am: OMG ladies! I just posted the request for people to support our kids receive little to no mail...seriously...just about 6 minutes ago...the response...HUGE!
