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 December 19, 2013 at 10:39pm: Rhonda8881....Just saw your comment and wanted to say how sorry we are about the loss of your younger son. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. So glad your Navy son was able to come home and be with you.

Comment by Rhonda8881 on December 19, 2013 at 2:09am: Just wanted to let you know, I lost my younger son in a car wreck on Dec. 5th when a young mother was speeding and ran a stop sign.

My sailor was able to fly home 2 days later. Good thing he is on shore duty now. The Navy was awesome in getting him home and giving him time off to stay with us through Christmas. With God's amazing Grace, we are surviving this tragedy. Please keep us in your prayers.

Comment by rugbymom on December 15, 2013 at 5:59pm: Hi Gloria,

My son (dont know if first names are allowed) is getting ready to leave Naples soon, coming back to the states early next year and coming out of the Navy. He has lived in Naples for over 2 years now and has really enjoyed it. Living off base and speaking Italian.He is an ETNAV, and I think the working group is not very big so they may even know each other. He is from Maryland and spent 5 years on the OK City.

Comment by Gloria P. on December 14, 2013 at 11:13pm: Hi rugbymom my son is also in Naples Italy on shore duty he is an ET-Comm radioman. It will be nice if they meet.

Comment by stylist613 on November 6, 2013 at 4:05am: Thx rugbymom, sounds like a good job

Comment by rugbymom on November 5, 2013 at 11:17pm: My son was an ET-Nav on the Oklahoma City for five years. Now he is doing shore duty in Naples Italy for a few years. ET Navs work on the charts and he will also take his turn driving the boat as well. Lots of study and lots of technical work too. It will translate well into many civilian fields as well.

Comment by stylist613 on November 5, 2013 at 10:10pm: my son got his rate today, ET-NAV, so who can tell me about it

Comment by kirty89 on November 4, 2013 at 1:28pm: @mrsb thank you for your help and advice. We look forward to our son going to CT and have been blessed to find these pages that help us along the way.
