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 February 13, 2010 at 8:35am: My son is from S. Florida. Snow? Non-existent. He was looking forward to getting to Miss. and some warmer no-snow weather. HA! Haven't talked to him since Monday, but I wonder what he is thinking NOW? I hope that they had some fun in the snow in Miss....I don't think they got to "play in it" in GL.

Comment by mother always on February 13, 2010 at 6:48am: I'm sorry Sandy....CONGRATULATIONS on your sailor and Welcome!!!!

Comment by mother always on February 13, 2010 at 6:46am: Good moring
Thank you for the good wishes on my son's health!
The snow he saw in GL and now in Ms is the 1st for him.He told me that yesterday afternoon, they were playing with the snow,throwing snow balls,after that he went to the bedroom to rest.....one of the other 2 sailors that are in the same room brought some movies and lend them to him.

Comment by mother always on February 12, 2010 at 5:28pm: There are lots of cats,as my son said.He told me about that one...
They didn't have classes today because of the blizzard.My son has a cold and he called me a while ago,he was resting,thank God
Have a nice afternoon!

Comment by nancynavymom on February 12, 2010 at 3:34pm: That is so sweet! I know my son really misses his dog!!!!

Comment by diannep on February 12, 2010 at 11:41am: Thanks, Sharon. I'm sure he will call home in a couple of days and I'll ask him then. Haven't talked to him since Monday when he had only been there for a day, so he probably wasn't thinking of an address yet.

Comment by nancynavymom on February 11, 2010 at 4:54pm: I'm off of here for the day, have a great night ladies, and God Bless All our Kiddo's!

Comment by diannep on February 11, 2010 at 4:54pm: On the "field day" comment...don't we all wish that we could take a crash course in all of the Navy lingo so we know what our sailors are talking about???? I'm sure they would rather not have to keep telling us what it all means! :-)

Comment by diannep on February 11, 2010 at 4:51pm: Thanks, Nancynavymom. I'll have to ask him for it when he calls again.

Comment by nancynavymom on February 11, 2010 at 4:11pm: Yes we did, he used his calling card to give it to us, but said the pay phones were quite away from him, it is different too, I have sent him 3 and his dad 2, but he hasn't received them yet, so I don't know how long it takes the mail.
