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 mardee5 on March 19, 2010 at 11:56pm: TN Navy Mom - my prayers are also going out to all of you. It sounds like your son has really excelled and I am sure that he will continue to do so as soon as he can get that leg healed. I know this must be really hard, you got a call that none of us want to get. My God bless you and yours in this time of need.

Comment by momof6 on March 19, 2010 at 8:59pm: TN Navy mom, will be thinking of your son and wish him a speedy recovery!! Glad he does not have to "start over" even though it's disappointing to push back his graduation. Glad he's being well taken care of!!

Comment by TexasBonBon on March 19, 2010 at 8:42pm: which means, meant to say means... just so happy!!!

Comment by Laura on March 19, 2010 at 7:48pm: Willo, What is a cryptological technician? Never heard of that.

Comment by TexasBonBon on March 19, 2010 at 7:46pm: yay! my dil's birth certificate has arrived! we got it today, which mean our recruit should get his copy today or tomorrow! what a relief!

Comment by Laura on March 19, 2010 at 7:46pm: willo, My daughter is in div 147. I thnk she will be leaving as of now on saturday. That is what she thinks anyhow as of now. We are only a couple hours away from great lakes so we can just drive but we are staying in a hotel.

Comment by proudWImom on March 19, 2010 at 5:35pm: TNNavy mom I am so sorry to hear about your son. I hope he heals quickly will and then will continue on to finish. My prayers are with all of you.

Comment by Laura on March 19, 2010 at 5:32pm: willo, I have a daughter going to pensacola when she is done. She graduates 3 more weeks from today. She is going in for aviation mechanic. How about you?

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on March 19, 2010 at 4:23pm: He only said a "few weeks". I'm thinking probably 6 +/-. We'll see. I talked to him for about 20 minutes and he had already called my daughter in law. We both told him basically the same thing, You've worked hard to make it to week 5 day 1, you'll start back at that point, you became a section leader because you worked hard. Now you have to work hard to get healed. All will be well and whenever he graduates we will all be there.
