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 diannep on April 10, 2010 at 10:34am: Emma, I understand now where you thought he was on the destroyer. Didn't realize that two ships were Roosevelts at the time. He is on the carrier based out of VA. Confirmed with him this morning.

Sharon, And yes, a retired Navy guy told me that this carrier is one of the largest in the fleet, much larger than the one he was on.

Comment by diannep on April 10, 2010 at 10:32am: Wait a minute, Sharon. The sites you sent me showed the Theodore as the carrier? I'm so confused now. But it said USS Theodore Roosevelt in VA as the carrier, so I'm sure that's the one. T confirmed it to me this morning. Says that the Theodore's home port is VA on the 2nd website you sent me. I will have to investigate further.

Comment by diannep on April 9, 2010 at 11:38pm: maussie: he'll be at sea...or on ship in port..
Not sure how long they go out each time. Still learning! Everyone at Norfolk is not attached to a ship. One of his buddies has a shore post in Norfolk.

Whats tin can sailor mean, emma?

Yes, Sharon, it is a carrier. Don't know how big. I read on a group site that it has been in dry dock?? Not much info yet! Yes, I hope that their paths will cross again!

Comment by maussie64 on April 9, 2010 at 7:27pm: diannep, does that mean he will be at sea or are they all attached to a ship?

Comment by diannep on April 9, 2010 at 7:15pm: Son just got verbals for USS Roosevelt out of Norfolk. He is happy. Still waiting at Meridian though.

Comment by mother always on April 9, 2010 at 12:50pm: BHappy I wish I could be near!
My son wanted Japan or Fl;he said that when he got to the office,Japan's choice was gone,there was one position.
He is happy because like I said before,when he talked on the phone with Lemoore base,the man who talked to him,was nice and gave him all the info he was looking for.They told him that his position is available for him,thanks to God.
You all, have a nice day!!

Comment by Sailor'sWifey on April 9, 2010 at 10:49am: Bhappy (Sharon) - Is Japan one of your son's top 3 choices? i just wanna know how well the Navy grants their dream sheet.

Comment by mother always on April 9, 2010 at 7:15am: Chris,my son is going to Lemoore Ca...where your daughter will be in Ca?
My son told me that he and other sailor took some of the girls to the mall to buy suitcases...They finished their studies,but no leaving dates,yet.
Nice day all!!
