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 Deanna_H_Proud_FC2's_Mom on February 12, 2011 at 3:56pm: What a week! Andrew has been gone a year! And yesterday we proudly witnessed our other son swear in at MEPS. He leaves for boot April 11th!! We're so proud. I'm so thankful that I will have my other Mom's here to go through it with me and this time, I'll know better what to expect. I'm sure it will still be a rollercoaster of emotions as now, both of my son's will be in the Navy. But, I'm so very proud. Guess I'll have to figure out a name change!!

I found a t-shirt and stickers last night on cafepress that say "Proud Mom of 2 Sailors" Gotta have it!!

Hope you're all well and that your Sailors are well and enjoying their stations. Andrew is still at GL waiting on C school orders. < big hugs >

Comment by chriscwick on August 31, 2010 at 6:27pm: TinaSailorMom - ask your daughter if she knows MASA Chris in Bahrain. He's opinionated, trustworthy, loyal, handsome (I'm predjudiced), tall, blonde (what hair they left him!), has hazel eyes, can be very smart, & at times a funny, snarky thing, but absolutely the apple of my eye. Tell her he's a Scorpio, that explains a lot!! Ask her to have pity on him and have him for a friend. Take care.
