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 ldyduckpro on April 22, 2010 at 7:01pm: Mine is ET in GL. Are any of yours ET? My son has been texting, calling and talking on laptop since we left him on saturday after grad.

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 22, 2010 at 12:00pm: Andrea, I am sure it was. I don't know if I would have been able to do so. His girlfriend stayed with him until he took off somewhere around 7 and she was able to stay in the USO until Brian and Niki arrived back at the airport to meet up with her again. Brian and Niki were there when his bus pulled up to the airport around 3ish and were able to say another goodbye. He gave Logan and Taylor some alone time before he left for SC.

Comment by Bren's Mom (Andrea) on April 22, 2010 at 11:56am: Stacie, i was at the airport at 4 am.... Ü Kenzie & I stayed at the gate until after the plane took off...very emotional time for alot of people.

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 22, 2010 at 11:41am: We have had a lot of communication with Logan. His girlfriend me him at the airport in the wee hours of the morning before he flew off to Nuke School in SC. She was able to him his cell phone and his computer so we have been talking, texting and emailing. It is such a great relief and comfort to have more opportunities for communicating with each other. She has joined our amazing group here on N4M and goes by Logan’s Girl. I hope you all welcome her with open arms as you have for me.

We raise our kids with wings to fly........it is painful to see them leave......but so wonderful to see them soar.
