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 Brenda Sue on October 30, 2011 at 7:14pm: If they are still in A school - they probably don't get to come home. If they are at their duty station - it is up to their unit if they can take leave or not. |f I understand it correctly, "liberty" means that they have to report back to the base at night. "Leave" is when they get to go away for an extended period. Don't get your hopes up - our last Christmas together was in 2006! Mine is getting to come home for Thanksgivingthis year though !

Comment by Stella on October 30, 2011 at 7:05pm: ...and new years.

Comment by Stella on October 30, 2011 at 7:05pm: Does anyone have information regarding liberty during thanksgiving and christmas..

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 30, 2011 at 5:49pm: Peyt's Mom - are you still willing to take pics for me at MAA pinning ceremony? I haven't heard from you, so I'm wondering if something happened to change your plans...? :-)

Comment by Lil Angie 74 on October 27, 2011 at 11:29pm: Thank you I also pulled up the pics spotted my sailor right away, such a handsome group! Thanks LT Tom:)

Comment by Phil's_mom on October 27, 2011 at 8:01pm: How soon after bc due they leave for san Antonio? We want to prepare as best we can.

Comment by sleepgirl on October 27, 2011 at 3:39pm: Is any moms or family going to pinning in the morning?

Comment by roe821 (Ship 02/ Div 948) on October 27, 2011 at 9:44am: Thanks LT Tom ~ I pulled up the pictures and had the pleasure of spotting my Sailor in the sea of blue. Again thank you!

Comment by LCDR Tom on October 26, 2011 at 4:13pm: Assistant Secretary of the Navy Juan Garcia visited the MA school yesterday to see the Sailors there and hold an All Hands during San Antonio Navy Week 2011. You can see pictures from our flickr site. http://www.flickr.com/photos/navyweek/6281899859/

Comment by Mary...Brittsmom on October 26, 2011 at 11:43am: @Roe821 I just sent you a friend request. You are correct we cannot mention names. I do believe first names are ok as long as the last name is not in our screen name.
