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 PNM Carolyn ( MAA MOM ) on September 3, 2011 at 10:50pm: Is anyone on here have their pinning on Sept. 30 th ?

Comment by lemonelephant on September 3, 2011 at 7:54pm: Bethy3, Be sure to check out the Discussions above to get an idea of what to expect and ask anything you need to know.

Comment by lemonelephant on September 3, 2011 at 7:53pm: Bethy3, He will be able to call you often. Some weeks are more stressful and he may not call as often (or maybe he will call more dependng on his needs).

Comment by Bethy3 on September 3, 2011 at 7:23pm: My sailor will be coming here right September 17. Is this just like a normal school where he can have contact with me and things like that or is it more like bootcamp?

Comment by Schafam Master at Arms Mom on September 2, 2011 at 10:07am: Hey bc I don't know much about the pinning, but they can choose who does the pinning and I don't think its as formal as PIR, but we are going. My sailor is looking forward to the 4 day weekend. Is your sailors pinning on the 7th?

Comment by bcmadness on September 2, 2011 at 9:43am: Schafam -Ann - How is your Sailor doing? Mine is tired but doing OK, she was excited about earning a 4 day weekend but they changed that, she has watch duty twice. But I guess she isn't there for a vacation. Can't wait to see her, do you know what this "pinning" is I keep hearing about?

Comment by bcmadness on September 2, 2011 at 9:37am: Proud Navy Mom- Southwest Airlines isoffering deals as low as $55 each way. Check it out- great deals right now. A local travel agent can help find the cheapest way too if you let them know what its for. Good luck!

Comment by lemonelephant on August 31, 2011 at 8:44pm: Hopefully, there will be another mom who can get a picture for you if you choose not to go.
