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 tina41 on July 31, 2012 at 9:03am: hello all!!
i pray that it is God's will that it will work for them. they moved into their house yesterday. they were so excited!!! im happy for them! i will make sure i tell them what you said about them being one! that is really good advice!! thanks!!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on July 30, 2012 at 11:21am: Congrats, Tina! Hope the new couple adjusts easily into the Married Navy lifestyle quickly. Open communication is the best advice to give them. I'm hearing WAY TOO MANY horror stories from mom's on "The Bush" about what their kids are going through (divorces). Both for kids in the Navy - males and females! They are one and need to understand that...they need to support, love and care - esp in the rough times. Best of luck to them!!!!

Comment by tina41 on July 30, 2012 at 7:25am: hello all!!

WOW, anita! tell her we are all proud of her!!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on July 29, 2012 at 9:54pm: My daughter's Home away from Home, The George H.W. Bush Aircraft Carrier (CVN 77) heading into "the yards" for work. Can't wait to visit her in October.

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on July 24, 2012 at 11:17pm: Wow!! Can't believe it's almost been a year since PIR!! How are all the sailors doing? Mine is in Spain and LOVING it!!! We went to see her earlier this summer and had a blast!!! She's thinking of nursing school now, so all in all, I can't complain!!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on July 24, 2012 at 10:32pm: Are we all going to go to our neighborhood pub/bar/etc and toast each of us for surviving the first year on Sept 16th? Pick a time and I'll lift my glass to us all. Miss you guys and the support we had for each other during those boot camp weeks.

Comment by Pennie on July 17, 2012 at 11:23pm: Wow! where has the time went! Tomorrow will be a year since sailor boy headed off to RTC on his big adventure.

Comment by tina41 on July 16, 2012 at 1:56pm: hello all!

thanks everyone.

anita---yeah i think they are kind of young too. God willing, everything will work out ok for them. i will keep on praying for them.

may God bless all your sailors and keep them safe!!!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on July 16, 2012 at 10:04am: Cal - stay strong! He'll come back around.

Tina - congrats.

As one that married at 18 (not prego) and was divorced by 29, yeah, I have personal feelings on marrying that young and it's not good. But - some have to find out the hard way and some get lucky :-)

July 20th was the day my daughter took the oath to enter the Navy. Hard to believe it's been a year, where did the time go? Hope everyone has a good week!
