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 RobinM on May 4, 2010 at 11:35pm: I with you both Old Mom and mvpmom! I'm ready and waiting...not so patiently. I also had great intentions of getting many things done, but just haven't had the heart to move any of my son's things. We have been fixing up his truck for him as a surprise...so he will love that. I am praying for all our guys and girls tonight and ready for our calls tomorrow!! Hope to see you all Thursday!

Comment by mvpmom on May 4, 2010 at 11:15pm: Old mom, Have a safe trip. Great Lakes here we come! I think it's great that for our boys it's going by fast and for their supporters slow like a turtle.(lol) I was going to get so much done and I walked in circles for almost two months. They tell me it will be much better in A school. See you there!

It was so good to hear his voice. He sounded sick and really tired. Congrats to all the new sailors and the ones who are going thru BS tonight. Hope everyone has a safe trip up there and see you at the meet and greet:)
