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 jacketfan24 (corpsman mom) on January 19, 2014 at 12:16pm: PeachyNavyMom and Jachay…I am in Greenville, so not to far from both of you! My sister in law lives in Easley. My son is a corpsman stationed in Okinawa.

Comment by PeachyNavyMom on January 16, 2014 at 8:07am: Wow. Thank you guys so much for the warm welcome. I live in Piedmont, SC. Which is very very near where you live Jachay. He went in June 25 last year and he did make it home for Christmas. He may make it home before shipping out for orders just not sure. He will be on the USS Blue Ridge over in Japan. My son said at least 3 in his class were going to Norfolk, one was going to Italy, one to Guam, one top secret. This all pretty new to me thanks again for the warm welcome.

Comment by Jachay on January 15, 2014 at 10:31pm: Welcome PeachNavyMom. I am in Easley, and my son is completing his 12th month in the Navy, one year being 2/12/2014. His first time home since leaving for boot camp was at Christmas. He has finished A school and is now in some other submarine school. He has enjoyed, but is now about tired of the snow up north.

Comment by Sue(Daniel's Mom) on January 15, 2014 at 7:53pm: Hi PeachNavyMom, Where do you live. I live in Florence and my son has been in the Navy for 4 years and is stationed in Norfolk.

Comment by Tamme on January 15, 2014 at 4:49pm: Welcome PeachyNavyMom. Where do you live? I am in Charleston. What is your sailor's job? I just read the USS Regan is transferring its home port from San Diego to Japan.

Comment by PeachyNavyMom on January 15, 2014 at 4:37pm: Hi new to the group was looking for someone closer to home to connect with. My sailor is in Pensacola, FL now. he graduates Feb 12. He got verbal orders today for Japan. Nervous about what all that will entail. So, Hi everyone.

Comment by Tamme on January 14, 2014 at 11:10am: Sheryl, good luck this morning. Please let me know what I can to help you with the adoption. I keep trying to find time to look into it but it has been busy here. So glad you heard from your son.
