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 February 15, 2011 at 6:59pm: Kelly, YES!! My son has done several other training after A school. PM me and I can tell you about some of them - but not publicly.

CCO727, we get together and make pillowcases to send to deployed military - sometimes everyone on a carrier gets one!

They get a touch of love from home to lay their heads on at night!

check out Molly's Adopt a Sailor - LOTS of good things going on in there!

Sherry! Yippee!! for you and southern California! Have fun!

Comment by Kellymcd11 on February 15, 2011 at 3:15pm: Has anyone heard of advanced training for Ma's after a school

Comment by CC0727 on February 15, 2011 at 3:03pm: Can you ladies explain the pillow case party? : )

Comment by Justin's mom(MA) on February 15, 2011 at 2:44pm: Hi gals, eaves dropping on pillow cases.....??????

Comment by sherrys (Alumni-Ship 02 Div 911) on February 15, 2011 at 12:20pm: Yes! ;o)

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 15, 2011 at 8:14am: Sherry, The USS Kearsage is not going to know what hit them!! Are you having a packing party and getting the shipping paid for by Molly's?

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 15, 2011 at 8:09am: I doubt it would be a Navy Lodge - that is an Air Force base they are training at.

Comment by Anita MA Mom on February 15, 2011 at 2:04am: Thanks Ladies for the suggestions. I did figure there is No Navy Lodge but maybe next time we visit him in Maryland we will stay in the Navy Lodge. I think I am just going to pick the Howard Johnsons Inn and Suites. Hope and Pray it will be ok.

Comment by sherrys (Alumni-Ship 02 Div 911) on February 14, 2011 at 11:27pm: USS Kearsage

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 14, 2011 at 11:18pm: Who are you sending them to? I'm not positive who is getting this batch. I really don't care - as long as it is someone deployed and in the military.
