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 RenoNavymom on July 25, 2010 at 10:10am: @ Kanga, great idea. Enjoy the family time. We also had made a welcome home sign. A boat with 3 holes to put a faces thru. Said Welcome home sailor. People at the airport were crying when my daughter and I were crying. He too was in dress whites and was upgraded. (don't they look wonderful all dressed up) It's awesome for them to be treated so well.

Comment by RenoNavymom on July 24, 2010 at 7:58pm: My son was home for 2 weeks. He flew out Thurs morning. He called us at 4:30 this morning (sat) it was 8:30 pm in Japan he will be stationed on the USS George Washington. I have the highest respect for this young man of ours. 26 and leaving everything he knows and loves behind. He is a changed man.

Comment by Deanna_H_Proud_FC2's_Mom on July 22, 2010 at 7:08pm: One of Andrew's friends from home is on the USS Enterprise!

Comment by Deanna_H_Proud_FC2's_Mom on July 22, 2010 at 5:03pm: Willo, nevermind. I went to your page and saw your son's rate. Sounds interesting. My Grandpa was a crytographer in the Army during WWII. He has some awesome stories to tell.

Comment by Deanna_H_Proud_FC2's_Mom on July 22, 2010 at 5:01pm: Willo!! Awesome!! Enjoy your visit. You'll have to come back and tell us all about it. Bravo Zulu to your Sailor graduating A school. You may have told me before. But, what is his rate/job? My son will be in school in GL about a year (a little more give or take) before moving to somewhere else for C school (Either Virginia or California)
