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 MountainMama(ship3 div081) on April 11, 2011 at 7:01am: It really is a crap shoot isn't it? My son said a lot of guys actually wanted Bahrain because the money is so good. He wanted east coast so he could be close home but he told me before orders came down that he knew that wherever he was sent, it was God's will and everything would be fine. His faith gave me a peace about his orders.

Comment by jennnyj on April 11, 2011 at 12:17am: this makes me so mad that all the classes BUT my fiances has stateside orders!

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on April 10, 2011 at 8:34pm: My son told me this evening that he heard that the class after his has one billet for Sugar Grove,WV. If anyone's sailor takes that billet, let me know and I'll tell you all about the area!

Comment by Hunters_Mom_12/092_MAA on April 10, 2011 at 9:12am: How are you doing jennyd?

Mine son wanted your Sailors post. Not available in his class so he is most likely going to our home state Hawaii. This makes me VERY happy of course as I am going back home there soon. Please do stay in touch and let us all listen and try to be there for you... My heart goes out to you and I have been thinking about you a lot. Mine truly wants to go to the Navy's 5th Fleet. You are proud nonetheless I am sure.

Aloha & ((hugs))
