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."

The Ten OPSEC and COMSEC Points:

Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!

Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

Comment by Debi on May 16, 2013 at 9:26am: Congratulations to all who have sailors graduating! My sailor starts his classes today for EO at FLW. He was a Pall Bearer yesterday for a funeral for a Chief, his first military funeral outside of his grandfather's 10 years ago. He was also cleaning like a demon because he had his first room inspection this morning. I'm praying he remembers everything from bootcamp about cleaning so he passes with flying colors ;)

Comment by Sandria on May 15, 2013 at 10:04pm: My son is graduating next Friday EO A school in Ft Leornardwood, he will be reportiing to Amphibious Construction Battalion One In Coronado as well. He will come home for a couple of weeks and reports to Coronado June 14th.

Comment by KathybShip13Div099 on May 15, 2013 at 4:36pm: My son graduates tomorrow CM A school in Port Hueneme and reports to Amphibious Construction Battalion One in Coronado, CA. Is anyone else on here that has someone in Coronado?

Comment by Debi on May 13, 2013 at 9:43am: Well my sailor is all settled into his room at A school :) He gave us the nickle tour of the room via Skype! It was so nice to see him and talk to him at the same time. He was more excited to find out that when he doesn't have duty on the weekends he can sleep all day if he wants! LOL I have to say it was the best Mothers Day present to see him happy!

Comment by Hayden's Mom 12 207 on May 13, 2013 at 7:25am: Although I didn't get to speak with my future Seabee on Mother's Day I certainly knew he would be thinking of me. We took pictures of the family holding signs wishing him well and I made a collage that was sent out this morning. 17 days until my boy has his PIR. Hope all of you wonderful ladies had a great Mother's Day!

Comment by deniseMatt'smom on May 13, 2013 at 12:59am: I also had the best dày, visiting my Seabee in Key West made this an unbelieveable day...my thoughts and prayers to all those who could not be together today!!!!
