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."

My husband has been on deployment for a couple months now and will be home by the end of the year (hopefully) i will be moving down to San Diego in December. I would love to meet some new people and hopefully make some friends! =)

Comment by sarahhhmx3 on September 15, 2010 at 10:11pm: i need help ! Husband just got verbal orders for San Diego, and i don't know where to start ! message me?

Comment by TexasMomof2 on September 8, 2010 at 10:41am: Hi ThanksMom! My son is still in school on base, so I mailed it to a PO Box # on base that he gave to me...and there's confirmation that it arrived a week ago last Tuesday. He's going to check again today with his yeoman.....I hope they find it cuz not only are there things in there that he needs but also cuz it wasn't cheap........oh well whatcha goin' do? Thank you!

Comment by TexasMomof2 on September 7, 2010 at 10:37pm: And that makes me really sad to know I can't send him anything.......

Comment by TexasMomof2 on September 7, 2010 at 10:36pm: Have any of you sent packages to SD only to have them get lost? I know it arrived because I have confirmation...... I've heard this happening at other bases and it bugs the heck out of me. My son had been in Pensacola and this never happened. He's now in SD....I send his first package and it never makes it to him. I can't send him any other packages if it's just going to benefit someone else.

Comment by Diannadb on September 7, 2010 at 10:28pm: My baby started kinder today....I'm happy and sad at the same time....he loves his class though!
