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 LindaA AM Mom on May 10, 2010 at 6:57pm: Thanks to you moms who got me here! I learned from you, and my son (via letter), today of this graduation date! He is, as my new name states, in Ship 9, Div 226. His name is GeraldQ -- anyone else with son here?

Comment by jpk USS Bataan on May 10, 2010 at 5:58pm: Hurrah the form letter came. My son, William, is in Ship 9 Div 224. Now we can plan on attending the PIR and I can mail the long letter to him. The short notes from him on the letter told me the food was good and all is well.

Comment by annafornavy on May 10, 2010 at 2:04pm: CAKERSMOM: I told Dustin I dont care if I dont get a letter as long as he is taking the time to enjoy reading all the letters he is receiving.. I wanted him to feel lifted up.. But if he has a chance to write I better be the top of his list and his girlfriend needs to take second seat.. : )

Comment by CAKER'S MOM (SHIP 09 DIV 224) on May 10, 2010 at 1:28pm: I wrote to Caleb everyday on his FB, I couldn't wait to print them out and mail them today. I tried not to make them to lengthy because I think they limited to the amount to time they can spend reading and writing to us. So proud of them.

Comment by CAKER'S MOM (SHIP 09 DIV 224) on May 10, 2010 at 1:25pm: So glad to be a part of this wonderful network. Go Navy Moms, we're in This boat together.
