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."

Thanks JessicaB, as always, your info is fed to us at just the time. You are a gem!

It's so fun that everyone is now knowing that their son is doing ok and the ship and div they are in. Now we wait for the phone call and their letters to us and in the meantime write, write, write. Love to you all. GO NAVY

Comment by cinder on January 29, 2011 at 12:52pm: I found the questionaires on the group boot camp for moms. Go to the second page of discussion forum and she has it titled Fun Questionaires to send your recruit. There are lots of interesting discussions and videos there. I am learning alot.

Cinder, the questionaires sound interesting and fun. Is there a way i can get a copy? If you need my email just send me a message. I'd really appreciate it.

Hope all have a great day and stay strong!!

Comment by cinder on January 29, 2011 at 12:35pm: Mae and Ash, I downloaded the questionaires to send SR they are funny and give you lots of answers. I'm mailing one today with bandaids. Apparently they will get blisters from their boots. They are in hell this week and will go on for 3 more weeks. He told me the shot in the butt really hurt.
