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 Gman Navy Husband on February 22, 2010 at 6:51pm: dildraa, so sorry to hear that. I hope it works out for him, and don't blame yourself!

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 22, 2010 at 6:39pm: just marking my spot, leaving the house again and need to know where I left off!!

Comment by True Grit on February 22, 2010 at 6:27pm: No nothing today. I though we were done with letters. ALL OF OUR SAILORS deserve to be honored. I don't think my son is any better off then they are as there is NO I in TEAM, yes he got a promotion E3 and his award was for expert shooting. He says his GPA is 3.8. So I'm quite sure there are 4.0 and better there that may be more deserving and rightly so. But If it should happen that a letter comes then I'll just have to re-pack lol

Comment by True Grit on February 22, 2010 at 6:20pm: Side boys and piping the side is a heritage from the British Navy. It originated in the time of sail,
when captains visited one another at sea and were hoisted on board in net baskets if the weather
was too rough to permit the use of gang ways. The officer-of-the-deck ordinarily summoned
from the crew several hands to assist the visitor in making a landing on deck.
Thus, there came about the custom of having "side boys" to meet officers.
The use of "side boys" in today's Navy is strictly ceremonial.
