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."

Good lucky Louann, best wishes to everyone!

We are back from seeing our son in Italy. We had a wonderful time! It was so good to see Stephen, it has been over a year so it was time. We got to spend a whole 10 days together, you could not ask for more then that. Hope everyone is doing great.

Marybeth, that is so great, well BRAVO ZULU to James. Our boys have really come far. Have you got to see James? I have not seen Stephen since April since he left for Italy, it has been very hard. But, we are going to see him in May, we are all so excited. We talk a lot on skype thank God for skype, I get to see my handsome son every week. Lets try to keep in touch, I would love to hear about James and I love talking to you also. Love Debbie

I miss all of you, we had the best group. Hope everyone sailors are doing good! Hi Marybeth and ProudNavyDad, so good to hear from you. November 1 they went in, over a year and my son is now in Italy, where is everyone elses sailors?

I do remember how cold it was, but it was not any better this year, It helps to live so close to GL I help a lot of people who are coming in from out of state, which is fun, they are so excited that their son or daughters are becoming sailors, and I have not heard of a better group then ours. Take care!
