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 Mom from St Pete on October 14, 2014 at 8:29pm: Hello my son and daughter in law are in San Diego. Have been their about a month or so now. Have a 2 bedroom house on base. Just got a cute dog. They seem to be liking it there. My son has been in for 4 years now. He was station in San Diego when he went thru schooling before he was sent to Hawaii. He stayed in Hawaii for 3 years. He resigned up for 5 more years and for Ship duty. He is going thru more schooling now. I do not remember which ship he was assigned to will have to ask him again. He does Communications. Kind of like IT.

Comment by seevoyager81 on September 3, 2014 at 3:12am: Hello, you can utilize the fleet and family services website or visit one of their offices. they have a lot of information about housing, deployment support, and things like that. Can also visit the Lincoln Military Housing website for information about getting specifically military housing, which is pretty nice from what I understand.

My son said he'll be on the ship but my husband & I would like to stay near him?

Any suggestions?
