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 LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 11, 2011 at 12:23pm: Life is good here a year later. Only saw my sailor once since PIR but my hubby has seen him twice. (divide adn conquer approach. someone had to stay home with the other two) May God be caring adn watch over all the sailors as the Navy Adventure continues and beyond. Hugs to all!

Comment by Jan1 on June 11, 2011 at 7:49am: One year ago today we were sitting in the bleachers waiting for our sailors to march in and pick them out from all the other sailors. Hard to believe it has been a year already! Getting ready to head to Homecoming in a few weeks to see our son-it has been over 6 months now.

Comment by Kim on June 10, 2011 at 10:30pm: Happy One Year Anniversary everyone! One year ago today we were watching the Sailors all graduate! Now they are all off on their own adventures! (I have to work tomorrow on the "official" date!)

Comment by Kim on May 27, 2011 at 11:25pm: Happy Memorial Weekend everyone...just think...last year we were all making plans to get to PIR in a couple weeks!

Go Big E!

Comment by Kim on May 4, 2011 at 8:01pm: Congrats to Steven on finishing his first cruise. My son is still out in the Arabian Gulf on the Big E. It's been a very exciting cruise so far but the most I hear from him is he can't wait to get back and get off the ship!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on May 3, 2011 at 9:33am: YEAH!!!!!!!! so glad to hear he enjoye it. Means he likes what he has picked to do. YEAH! Glad he's back to shore too.

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on April 2, 2011 at 10:57pm: Kim that is funny. yup that NAvy needs a mom. :D

Olga did you join the group for his ship? Maybe you are missing being able to send. :D. Here's hoping for a contact soon. BTW Ian goes even longer and he's not even over seas yet. UGH!

Comment by Kim on April 2, 2011 at 9:44pm: Olga, I didn't think about that...do they not get anything while they are deployed? Do they stay out for 6 months like the ships? They should pop to the surface and let a helicopter drop down a bag of mail, etc. See, we moms should run the Navy!
