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 Sherrilynn on May 7, 2010 at 10:13am: Kim(Ethan’s Mom), My daughter will be 15 at the end of next month, my son’s are 11 and 9. We’ve been married for 15 years so they have always known the “Navy life”. Definitely Military Brats here! lol! The longest we have ever stayed in one place so far was for 3 years, but 2&1/2 −3 years is typical rotation now a days for us.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on May 7, 2010 at 6:37am: Hi Sherrilynn, my son is stationed at North Island. He's been there since Christmas. I have visited San Diego before and loved it. I hope to go see my son in July. How old are your kids?

Comment by Sherrilynn on May 6, 2010 at 11:38pm: Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself to all of you! My husband is stationed at 32nd street in San Diego and is currently on Deployment. We've been living here in San Diego now for a year and love it. We have 3 kid's that keep me busy and I enjoy being a Navy wife for the most part! Just wanted to say Hi!
