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 9, 2011 at 10:53am: brenda sue - do you have any communication with him when he is on the ship?

Comment by jennnyj on February 9, 2011 at 12:19am: yeah hes a saturday departure cause he is the first division out of the whole group so they get sent out first :(

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 9, 2011 at 12:15am: MSRON - Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadrons

One of the things that MA's do! Yes, he has been LOTS of places. He was in Greece this weekend.

Jenny, before I made the trip, I would be sure that I would be allowed to see him. He may not so early. Are you sure he is leaving GL early. Mine stayed in GL until the Wed. following PIR when he finished (and that was Presiden't Day weekend also).

Comment by lemonelephant on February 8, 2011 at 11:46pm: jennyd, he would have to complete the command indoctrination before being permitted to leave the base, so no he, most likely, would not be able to leave the base yet.

Comment by jennnyj on February 8, 2011 at 11:36pm: so if i went up there that weekend he wouldnt be allowed to leave base at all?

Comment by Marti Jacob's Mom on February 8, 2011 at 10:51pm: jennyd they will not be able to leave the base till they Phases up. It usually takes till 3rd week. Then they can leave the base on weekends and return at night till Phase 3 when they can stay gone on weekends. Mine is on Phase 2 he can now wear his own clothes after school hours.
