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 Melissa mom of Chip on March 13, 2009 at 6:48pm: Are these kids still in Boot Camp? If they are, the Ship 5 is the building that they are housed in.

Pink dolphin appears in US lake

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on March 12, 2009 at 12:24pm: Oh, I love dolphins! I would love to sit out on some beach and watch the dolphins. I've seen them out in the wild or ocean and of course, Sea World.

Did any of you catch that post/blog on the Pink Dolphin the other week or hear about it in the news?

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on March 12, 2009 at 12:46am: Joni, my son is on base when in port.
Ship is currently away on deployment.

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on March 11, 2009 at 4:00pm: Joni---- if you send me your sons travel plans send in a private email... we need to be careful about posting in a open forum. Also has your son discovered the wonderful USO at Seatac airport? If he is dropped off early or has time to pass before a ride home he should check it out! They love our military and have lots of services to offer!
