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 Miss Suzanne on October 24, 2011 at 2:57am: Thanks Lemonelephant, that didn't even occur to me! So much to have to watch out for, sadly...

Comment by Brenda Sue on October 23, 2011 at 10:50pm: Any moms going to graduation Friday in San Antonio that would like to have dinner with an Admiral (and a few Navy personnel) on Thursday evening? Let me know and I'll give you the details.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 20, 2011 at 6:26pm: Miss Suzanne, you should probably remove your post, click on the little x, since you have given your email. Send a Friend request and then you can send information like that to each other in a Private Message through the site--Inbox.

Comment by Peyt's Mom on October 19, 2011 at 7:18pm: Miss Suzanne,

I will be there...be glad to snap some pics for you...give me some details.

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 17, 2011 at 10:11pm: Does anyone here have a Sailor graduating in the November 18th Class? I won't be there, and I'd really appreciate it if I could get some pictures... if you're digital it'll be really easy. If your old fashioned camera, I'll pay for film & developing.

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 17, 2011 at 10:06pm: Pinkcubby - I'm very happy for you! I can't wait for my son to come home... how long is your Sailor man home for? :-)

Comment by lemonelephant on October 17, 2011 at 9:36pm: :o)

Comment by pinkcubby on October 17, 2011 at 8:37pm: Great to have my sailor home, dirty laundry and all. Made 2 of his favorite home made meals and boy did he pig out. His sister is also getting reprimanded for how dirty she kept the bathroom that they have to share and of course her bedroom. Our Mr. Security man is back home also, good bye world after it gets dark!!! lol!!!

I will take it though I missed my Sailor Man/Son/baby!!!

Comment by Mary...Brittsmom on October 17, 2011 at 10:16am: Boosmom;

Talked to Britt she says that there are too many of them and they have to split the groups. They will class up on the 25th hopefully.

Comment by toogoldn713 on October 17, 2011 at 7:10am: Morning ladies, So we got back from our visit yesterday. It was awesome. Saw my son, and got to meet a ton of his buddies. So depends on what kind of food u want and how much u want to spend. My son took us to Rainforest Cafe for lunch, then my husband took us to the Palm for dinner, but it is super $$$, wonderful meal. Was my birthday gift from each of them. 10 days and a wake up and get to bring him home!!!!!!
