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 Navymom26 on May 19, 2014 at 4:18pm: Yay...we finally got word today that our sailor will be going to Pearl Harbor! Seems like I have been waiting forever to find out! Now just what to do about his car, him coming home, him flying to Hawaii. Too many unanswered questions! I'm just going to have to wait for answers, but next Friday....Graduation Day will be here before I know it!

Comment by Denny (Ship 09 Div 170) on May 16, 2014 at 4:54pm: My Grandson Jacob T. is stating school Monday the 19th.

Comment by neerod1 on February 12, 2014 at 9:33pm: My son will be going to Groton, soon, he was in Goose Creek but changed jobs, can someone tell me a fb group to join of SECF mom's , thanks so much!

Comment by 40intheboxShip11Div155 on February 8, 2014 at 11:05pm: My son is ET NAV. Graduates A school in March. Heading to Guam and the USS Chicago in April. Anyone going to the graduation March 7 in Groton?

Comment by mrsb on February 8, 2014 at 10:16pm: Hello lionmother!!! If you haven't joined the group boot camp for moms and loved ones, you really should! There is a whole lot of information about what happens at bc than there is on this particular site. I can't offer much advice about SECF as my son is waiting to class up to A school. He's in Groton right now, loves it there. Welcome to the Navy family!

Gloria P, nice to see you! Glad you get to talk to him more often. It's going to be hard to not have contact with my son once he's underway but I guess that's what we're getting used to now.

Comment by Gloria P. on February 8, 2014 at 9:55pm: Hello everyone its been a while since I've been on here. Welcome to all the new members to the group. Just an update my son is now doing land duty in Italy. He does miss his friends from his sub and Hawaii. But is having a good time at his new post. Doing pretty much the same job but on land now and making new friends. We miss he so but now we get to talk more often then when he was on the sub. We are so proud of him.

Comment by lionmother on January 22, 2014 at 11:26pm: My son is leaving for BC next week then going to train as an SECF. Any words of advice, wisdom or knowledge about what his life will be like?

Comment by mrsb on December 28, 2013 at 10:44pm: Rhonda, I hope that your family gave you joy adn comfort this Christmas. Many prayers and blessings are coming your way. :)
