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 kaye444 on July 31, 2014 at 9:40pm: Deployments are good. Yes , the more they get out there the better they are. They have the short deployments to practice not being detected. Train new people. I pretend he is still at home. As much as I saw him when he lived at home, it was similar.

Comment by Brand'sMom on July 31, 2014 at 8:08pm: Hello oopsadaizys I did receive a phone call from him on 7/29 the same day he left to Great Lakes, at around 10:30 PM Pacific time. My son sound very tired. Now we are waiting for the box where he sent his clothes and I cannot wait until I receive his first letter.

Comment by MomThatLovesHerSon on July 31, 2014 at 6:20pm: Wait a minute, is this group for moms that live in CA or for moms of sailors that are in CA?

Comment by MomThatLovesHerSon on July 31, 2014 at 6:19pm: Hi all,

My son got to CA yesterday!

Comment by pax on July 31, 2014 at 5:09am: Hi Brandon'sMom. My son in law arrived three hours ago in GL. My daughter got the emotional call that he's safe. She said he sounded tired but alert if that makes sense. Did you receive a call from your son yet?

Comment by Brand'sMom on July 30, 2014 at 9:39pm: My son left to boot camp yesterday . It was really hard.

Comment by Brand'sMom on July 8, 2014 at 7:41am: Thank you Yolanda,

After I read several Mom's comments I feel a little strong inside . I am trying to give him all my support and confidence. The time for his deployment is close and I know that I have to keep myself together.

Sandra:)
