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 Lisa-Chris's Mom on March 19, 2010 at 10:11pm: Chris said it takes about 6 months. He said they do it that way so you don't screw up. Cause if you screw up you do not get it. But don't go by me, I'm just saying what I heard................I think that's what they call hear say? LOL

Comment by becky m on March 19, 2010 at 8:10pm: Yep I got that motto down Donna!! :)

Comment by becky m on March 18, 2010 at 10:49pm: how lond does it take the asvancement to show up in their paycheck?

Comment by Lisa-Chris's Mom on March 18, 2010 at 6:52pm: I don't know why either Donna, Chris found out before he even told me LOL

Comment by Lisa-Chris's Mom on March 18, 2010 at 1:02pm: Donna and Beckym, Chris was deployed last year when he took it and I'm not sure but I could've sworn he said he had to take it twice but I could be wrong. That's one good thing about taking it while deployed, all they did was work, and workout so it left time to study as there was nothing else to do LOL

Comment by becky m on March 17, 2010 at 9:24pm: Can they take the test only once a year? How do they take the test if they are deployed< good question.

Comment by Lisa-Chris's Mom on March 17, 2010 at 7:50pm: Good luck to all the sailors! Chris took his last Sept and passed but he's just now geting the promotion and he's taking his E5 this coming Sept too. think he said it's 200 questions..Yuck!!!

Comment by becky m on March 17, 2010 at 7:40pm: Good luck to all tomorrow to bad they have to wait so long for results.

Comment by Lisa-Chris's Mom on March 16, 2010 at 9:32pm: beckym, I did get to talk to Chris today only via text msng which was ok and better than nothing, he's pretty busy and doesn't have a lot of time since he's been in Jax which has been since early Dec, but i'm def better today than yesterday thanks to all of you.

Brenda, as far as I'm concerned, your son couldn't have been born on a better day than St. Patrick's Day as I'm Irish born and bred LOL I had the greatest pleasure of visiting the great emerald isle last year and can't wait to go back, my dad's cousin was able to show me the house where my grandfather was born and churches where both grandparents were baptised, I can't say enough in so few sentences. But thank you to you and your son for a great St. Paddy's Birthday. And in advance my thoughts are with you on this great day.
