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 B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on September 19, 2019 at 11:46am: Welcome Mom of a sailor (Deanna)! The groups not real active but some of us still check in. I'm in Riverside ;-D

Comment by Deanna on September 18, 2019 at 8:16pm: Hi there. My daughter just graduated boot camp 9/6 and is now at her A school. What an adventure! Here to meet other moms and share this new life.

Comment by NavyMomJeg on July 24, 2019 at 4:31pm: It's an adventure for sure, my son's been in the Navy 8 years now, I can hardly believe it. I remember when he was in RTC though. I found this website to be a lot of help and I hope you do too. Feel fee to reach out as often and you want to.

Comment by WestCoastMom SHIP 14, DIV 180 on July 24, 2019 at 2:51pm: @ShellyMarie, welcome and I know that feeling of your first son to leave home. My son left at 18 years old and will be 25 this year and I don't worry as much anymore--only when his ship goes underway. It does help when he's at least in the same state--only 2 hours away. Best wishes to you and your son.

Comment by ShellyMarie on July 24, 2019 at 11:54am: I'm just starting out this adventure. My son has only been in RTC for 3 weeks. He's my first child to leave home.

Comment by ShellyMarie on July 24, 2019 at 11:42am: Congrats Andy'sMom, That's exciting! :) and congrats to you and B'sNukeMom for the upcoming weddings!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on July 24, 2019 at 11:13am: Andy'sMom - BZ to your Sailor! And congrats to you too on the wedding - Sedona is beautiful!
