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 navynana on July 23, 2010 at 11:33am: Sailor Surprise! It was great. Hadn't seen him since PIR and he walked in yesterday and surprised us. Home on leave. We're so happy to see him. Looks great and doing well. Next, San Diego. Lucky us.

Comment by navynana on July 8, 2010 at 2:24am: she has an amazing attitude and that will serve her well. It truly is an adventure. We'll all have to face the new challenge when they ship out and we can't see them and sometimes not be able to talk to them either. You must be very proud of her. Wish her all the best and keep us posted. It must be a very interesting place.

Comment by maussie64 on July 8, 2010 at 2:19am: She is doing well. She is home on leave now. She got almost three weeks of leave and will be flying out on the 12th. She is actually looking at it as an adventure. Not thrilled about the year away part though.

Comment by navynana on July 8, 2010 at 2:12am: my error, thanks. Yes, it is San Diego and he's very happy about that. Not sure how long he'll be there. How is your daughter doing? did she get a leave before she shipped out?

Comment by maussie64 on July 7, 2010 at 8:14pm: Actually it was 5.4, but still unnerving.
California huh? Lucky you. Is it San Diego?

Comment by navynana on July 7, 2010 at 8:06pm: Hi everyone...just wanted to post that my grandson who's been in GL for A school just got his orders and is coming back to California for his first command. We're all so happy he'll be closer to home. Just felt an earthquake......6.9 oh my gosh! Hope all of you and your sailors are well as our world changes once again.

Comment by lj1422 (Josh's mom) on July 6, 2010 at 7:10pm: Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!!

Comment by navynana on July 2, 2010 at 8:36pm: Jaime, the best of luck to you and Manny. I will post when we receive the yearbook. Happy 4th to all.

Comment by navynana on June 29, 2010 at 8:36pm: Hi ladies, just got on and great to see your posts. I called last week and they said the yearbook takes 8 -10 weeks after PIR so it should be soon. Hope all is going well with all of you, your sailors and military life.

Jamie..did you move to GL? Has Manny got his orders? Seems like many of them have them or are expecting them soon.
