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 JM-ISmomx2 on October 2, 2010 at 2:19am: Ok Just to make things clear, now that I have a second sailor in the making I had to change my screen name. I'm not just Aub's mom any more.
And Darsete sorry we didn't make it out there again. I know we wanted to. And just because we can't bring Andrew doesn't mean we can't come out. Victor really enjoyed himself too.

Comment by irishmum on September 10, 2010 at 2:18pm: I'm in Altadena (Los Angeles area) and make regular trips to San Diego. My Corpsman son is in Afghanistan, returning in November, and his new baby (born July 10) is in the San Diego area. He's been in almost two years now.

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on September 9, 2010 at 11:46pm: My daughter who just earned her new rate today is a IS3. And she left for bootcamp last Sept. 23rd.

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on September 9, 2010 at 8:02pm: I will be in San Diego on the 28th/29th for my son's, and second sailor, swearing in before he leaves for BC. What's going on there?

Little ones start school this week, YEAAAAAAAAAAA! Would love to try and get a M&G started, any suggestions still so new at this.

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on September 1, 2010 at 12:54am: Oh and I was going to see about coming up again, Andrew leaves the 28th and we were hoping to come up at least 2 more times before he leaves. Is your wonderful guy available the 6th?
