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 plattecountymom on February 1, 2017 at 4:37pm: My son is on the Comstock as well. Have you heard from your sailor for the past ten days? We have been communicating through FB messenger.

Comment by U2navymom on February 1, 2017 at 3:49pm: My sailor is on the Comstock which is part of the Makin Island Amphibius group. The Somerset belongs to the Makin Island group.

Comment by Riley9698 on February 1, 2017 at 10:49am: My son is serving on the USS Somerset, anyone else.

Comment by MamaG on December 30, 2016 at 2:10am: Hey SD Moms ~

My girl is being medically discharged from RTC, unknown condition surfaced while there :(

I have a lot of NAVY fleece that was going to be made into a blanket for her. a 3yd piece, and I think the other is 2 yds? (it was the end of the bolt :)

I may also have red fleece, as well as blue fleece with white stars and white w/ red stripe stars on it. (interest was shown, don't have a firm yes yet from them)

If any of you are interested in it, please let me know.

Thank you!

Comment by plattecountymom on June 21, 2016 at 4:29pm: Hi everyone! My son is in San Diego and is having trouble with a roommate that wont clean his part of the room. They failed inspections today, because of him. What is my son supposed to do if his chain of command isn't helping and the roommate won't do what he is suppose to?

Comment by Christy on January 26, 2016 at 12:03pm: Does anybody know any good places to live in sandiego??

Comment by portside on January 25, 2016 at 3:58pm: Hi gang - my sailor is now at 'C' school at NBSD and is living in one of the Unaccompanied Housing units. Does the
USPS deliver to the individual BEQs or does he have to make other arrangements to receive mail and packages? TIA

Comment by Jyssicarm on December 15, 2015 at 7:24pm: Has anybody lived it know someone that lives on Coroando island ? We got offered housing there and even though it's a little small we might want to take it? Do you like it if so thanks :) .

Comment by Jenn (Proud AO Mom) on December 14, 2015 at 1:08pm: CTmom - I've lived in San Diego for 25 years so I would say that the traffic isn't terrible - but I also remember moving out here from a smaller town in Colorado and being totally intimidated. Traffic isn't LA or NY crazy. I agree - a navigation device does help to make you feel more confident while driving since it will tell you where to go. As to hotel - if you stay close to the base you won't really have many options of things close by to do if your son is tied up. If you stay near the Midway it will be more expensive but you can walk to the Midway museum, Seaport Village which has a ton of shops and places to eat, and you can walk into downtown. You would also be close to the harbor which is a nicer view.

Comment by Labornurse on December 13, 2015 at 9:36pm: CTmomof3- Midway area is much nicer but, you will pay more in this area. Lots to see and do around the Midway area that you can easily get to. Rental car is the way to go. I am from a small town and had NO problems driving in the area. Also is you have a navigation device (Garmin or Tom Tom) made my exploring very easy. You will have a great time.
