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 Jetskimom on June 30, 2013 at 10:16pm: Thanks!

Comment by Navymom21 on June 30, 2013 at 8:15pm: fredsmom....did your son just go to meridian this week?

Comment by fredsmom on June 30, 2013 at 5:27pm: My sailor PIR and had 8 hours of liberty and was back on base by 7pm, and was packed and at the airport by 12:30 am the following morning. We met him at O'Hare at 3:00 am and went through security check so we could spend the next 7 1/2 hrs with him before his flight to Houston, then Meridian. 14 sailors were with him. The USO is awesome at O Hare!

Comment by Jetskimom on June 30, 2013 at 2:59pm: When your PR flew out from basic, when did they fly out and from which airport?

Comment by fredsmom on June 28, 2013 at 1:50pm: My sailor said they just find stuff to do and of course they went to the movies. He was there in April until end of May and the weather kept changing! They have storms there then it's really hot and humid! I had to send him a jacket! Lol!

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on June 28, 2013 at 1:04pm: Fredsmom~ Good to know there are some things to do around town when they have weekend liberty. Thanks for sharing...

Comment by fredsmom on June 28, 2013 at 12:09pm: Kim - my son was also ship 03, at boot camp!

Comment by fredsmom on June 28, 2013 at 12:06pm: My son was graduated from Meridian about a month ago, he is also YN! The sailors went to Lazer Tag which was in the woods! To the mall! Out to eat! Oh and to New Orleans for a weekend!

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on June 28, 2013 at 11:28am: So all you moms who have had SR's in Meridian for a while, when they get liberty on the weekends, what do they usually do for fun? How is the town itself outside of the base?
