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."

Hi Daci welcome my Sailor  is on the USS America how about yours?

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 13, 2018 at 11:29am

Welcome Daci - You can post where your sailor is stationed and you can ask if there are other moms with kids on the same ship.  You just don't want to post anything about ship movement.

Be sure to read  Navy Operations Security (OPSEC) checklist 

Comment by Daci on November 13, 2018 at 9:06am

Hi everyone. I am new to the Navy Mom websites. are we ok to post where our kids are stationed? and to ask if there are moms with kids in the same battalion as mine?

Comment by Alison❤️⚓️ on September 29, 2018 at 7:19am

Hi my son is stationed in San Diego just since 8/25.. his ship is the USS America, but it’s in yards so now they asked to go out on the USS Boxer to get some qualifications. Does anyone else have the same situation?
