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 CC0727 on February 18, 2011 at 12:25pm: marti - i may be in the same boat as you...my sons orders have not come in yet. he was supposed to be coming home tomorrow for the week before he reported to his station. if they don't come in today, who knows when they will be coming or if he will be able to come home at all. i just hope they are not being changed. it is his and the other guys going to the same station as him that have not received their paperwork yet. : (

Comment by Marti Jacob's Mom on February 18, 2011 at 12:16pm: Welcome Jamie to A school it is much different then BC was and better when you can talk everyday to them if you want. I talk to mine at lease 2 times a week but email all the time. He is graduating today from A school, then off to his first duty station tomorrow. So off to our next phase and a nice place to visit when it is cold here in Michigan.

Comment by Mom of Joshua, the MA on February 17, 2011 at 9:01pm: sherrys - you're very welcome!

Comment by sherrys (Alumni-Ship 02 Div 911) on February 17, 2011 at 6:35pm: MA's Mom -- Thanks for the info on transportation! ;o)

Comment by CC0727 on February 17, 2011 at 11:34am: Marti - That's a great idea! Perfect place for a winter getaway!! : )

Comment by Marti Jacob's Mom on February 17, 2011 at 11:17am: Thats nice to have some kind of family there to do it. I told Jacob to give the camera to someone to take pictures for me. He did when he did the OC spray so I am sure he will get some of this too. He is going to try and get home this summer when he has more days saved. Then home for Christmas my Husbond and I are going to go out there next year when it is snowy here and need a winter break.
