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 tygerh on September 23, 2011 at 10:14pm: My son has had a few problems too but for the most part everything is okay. He was concerned at first because his only roommate right now is a 3rd class PO but he has turned out to be very helpful.

It's payback time! I used to stalk the postman so now I am being stalked! Just kidding. However, there's a federal agent roaming around my city talking with my neighbors and our friends. My son has to be cleared for security clearance. The FA seems pretty nice but its kind of creepy too. My neighbors are probably wondering what we are doing in our house these days! Oh well,

I hope my son gets his clearance approved.

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 23, 2011 at 9:37pm: Thank you ladies! I just feel so bad for her. She has liberty this weekend and no one to enjoy it with. Makes me really sad for her!

Comment by Pennie on September 23, 2011 at 8:18pm: Wlbradford praying that she finds peace with this difficult situation and finds friend that have her same views and can give her support when she's down.

Comment by tina41 on September 23, 2011 at 7:41pm: wlbradford--i will pray for her also i am sure she will fine her way. she is a strong person. she made it through bc. she more than likely has friends she can talk to and help her

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 23, 2011 at 3:57pm: Thanks Anita. I needed to hear that. :)

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 23, 2011 at 3:22pm: Tell her to be strong, Wlbradford! The biggest let down I had when I left high school is realizing some people never "grow up" and act like the adults they should be. Difficult people are everywhere - how she handles them will make or break her. She will find her way to deal with them and still be true to herself. Have faith - you raised a great lady who is now a great asset to the United States Navy! hoooYAH

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 23, 2011 at 2:56pm: It sure is. And you guys please keep my sailor in your prayers. She's having a hard time adjusting to A School. She was fine in BC but in A School, people are starting to show their true colors and her opinions and views are not in line with theirs and it's making it hard for her. My prayer is that she finds a way to deal with this issue before they start class. I don't want this to disrupt her studying. Thank you!! :)
