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 myboywantstojointhenavy! on December 16, 2010 at 12:53am: lukesgirl...my son also is getting an award! You can check out the names on the web site http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/honor_grads.asp. Our letter said to report to the visitors station by 7:15 and we would be escorted to our seats. It mentions 3 guests though...I'm hoping that means myself and my other 3 guests. I hope one of us doesn't have to sit alone. Anyone else know? I am SO proud, I could bust :-)

Comment by lukesgirl on December 16, 2010 at 12:11am: Thanks! :) Luke told his dad we better be in line by 6..seems a little drastic, but we will see. :)

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 16, 2010 at 12:11am: I got my call at about 2:00. Just finishing up packing and going to take a nap. We leave for the airport at 2am. See you all tomorrow. Safe travels everyone!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 15, 2010 at 11:56pm: We have so many new sailors today. Woohoo! Congratulations to all our new sailor moms and our new sailors. I can't wait to meet you all. I'm here in IL now and can't wait for Friday.. I was crying on the way to the airport today, I guess it's all becoming so real now.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 15, 2010 at 11:47pm: Oh wow, Susan, please stay safe. You aren't that far now!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 15, 2010 at 11:46pm: Oh, Kate, I'm sorry, we flew in through Milwaukee. Our drive from there was great. We arrived in rush hour and it only took about 40 minutes to get to the Residence Inn
