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 Oneofalot on July 28, 2010 at 3:52pm: She is on the USS Ronald Reagan. They are floating somewhere off of Hawaii. Will be back in port sometime at the early August. I can hardly wait.

Comment by maussie64 on July 28, 2010 at 3:43pm: Oh Duh! I got my groups confused. Disregard first question. ;)

Comment by maussie64 on July 28, 2010 at 3:41pm: Jean, what was her PIR date? What ship is she on?

Comment by Oneofalot on July 28, 2010 at 2:28pm: My daughter is out in the ocean and I don't know where she is. I will when she gets to port but with this being her 1st deployment it is hard not to know.

Comment by maussie64 on July 28, 2010 at 2:22pm: I'm doing well. I miss her though. It would easier if we could text like we did in A school. And I would love to be able to visit her there. No civilians allowed though. 8((

Comment by smbjboyd on July 28, 2010 at 1:41pm: My son is in Goose Creek, SC. He told me he didn't know any of the sailors that took their life but his roommate did.

Comment by navynana on July 28, 2010 at 2:04am: So glad to hear she is doing well. And how is Mom doing? He is still here at home until Aug 7th, when he heads to SD. He's been working at the Brea recruiting station all week. He's looking forward to San Diego and indicated that there are alot of them from Div 164 that are going there. We have loved having him here at least for now. I'm anxious to see the yearbook. He only knows people by there last names and we only knew them by their first names. Take care

Comment by maussie64 on July 28, 2010 at 1:57am: She is doing well. She got to the island ahead of her ship, so they have given her a temp job to do until her "ship comes in" ;). She has made friends there. Unfortunately, there is not much to keep busy there in the off time. But, she is making the best of it.
How's your grandson doing in the wilds of San Diego?
