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 Rhonda8881 on December 19, 2011 at 5:15pm: Yes, DarcieR, this is the group for the Electronics Tech, Fire Tech and Sonar Tech ratings. When will he be arriving in Groton? My sailor is an ET Navigations and has been a sailor for over 5 years now.

When is his PIR? Welcome!

Comment by DarcieR (Ship 11 Div 62) on December 16, 2011 at 1:34am: My husband will be joining a-school for electrical on subs.. this the right place to be? =)

Comment by Rhonda8881 on December 14, 2011 at 8:28pm: VinnyBsMom - that happens every few years. My son has been in for 5 years and has had 2 changes of command. It has nothing to do with your sailor personally.

Comment by Rhonda8881 on December 5, 2011 at 12:36pm: Thought you might all enjoy the following video.

Comment by Mark on November 24, 2011 at 1:32am: It sounds like the boat has had a "change of command". That just means the skipper (Commanding Officer, or CO) has been relieved by another.

Comment by Gloria P. on November 19, 2011 at 7:38pm: Welcome to all the new members to our group. Glad to see that your sailors are happy with their choice. My son is ET4 COMM/RADIO and loves it. Can't wait for his leave should be around the new year. Nice way to start the new year with a visit from him :-) or and his beautiful girlfriend will also be visiting us can't wait.
