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 June 21, 2010 at 3:13pm: Congrats with him graduating AO school.

Comment by 209mikesmom on June 21, 2010 at 3:08pm: Mike called today, He has graduated from AO school. Off to Norfolk now, not sure when.

Comment by navynana on June 11, 2010 at 11:41am: Mike'sMom: Yes , I do remember and glad we had th eopportunity to meet. So glad you got to see your son. We're in California so it's not possible for us. Hoping that he'll be able to come home on leave in Aug., but who knows. I know he is really missing us and has his moments there in GL. We also got the DVD and shared it with the entire family when we go together for Memorial Day. Felt like we were there again. Such an experience. Guess we'll have to wait for the yearbook, thanks for letting me know. Would like to keep in touch.

Comment by 209mikesmom on June 11, 2010 at 9:34am: Hi navynana! Remember me? We chatted outside the nex. You were sitting down near the ring order table. I got the DVD but not the yearbook. Hope all is well with your sailoi. We just got back from Pensacola visiting Michael, It was so good to see him. He really needed to see us as well. Hope all is well.

Comment by navynana on June 10, 2010 at 11:55pm: Hello all PIR Apr 23 moms (ship10 Div 164). Hope all is well with you and your sailors. Most of us aren't on here much any more but wondered if anyone received their YEARBOOK? or where to check on them if they were ordered. Let me know. Thanks and take care.

Comment by 209mikesmom on June 2, 2010 at 11:24am: Heading to Pensacola this weekend to see Michael. I am so excited to see him. My boy went skydiving on mothers day. He told me after he did it and sent the pictures on facebook. I am glad he told me after the fact. If there is anything we can do for any of your sailors while we are there let me know. Mike said his buddies want to hang with us. I hope they are one of your sailors.
