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 Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on September 25, 2013 at 3:14pm: oops Sharla!!! yup chock it up to lessons learned

Comment by Hopetown, Ship 11 Div 301 on September 25, 2013 at 2:17pm: That's too bad Sharla! They do a lot of growing up! I think everyone has a Sailor that has experienced something of the same.... My son married another STG and they are discovering new issues everyday!

Comment by Sharla on September 25, 2013 at 1:35pm: Ducking in here....don't think I've been back since my daughter PIR'd. She's in San Diego now, it's been 2 1/2 weeks, she's on hold to class up. Was supposed to Phase up this week I think but got in trouble for having a phone in her pocket. She forgot it was there and entered a no-phones area and got ripped a new one and phase up privileges revoked for 30 days. :( So she stays a phase 1 and is really down about it while her friends are phasing up. It's a hard lesson learned though, she has to realize it's not high school or even college, even though right now on hold it may feel like it with so much free time and this base being pretty lax. She has to realize her job involves responsibility and security and she can't make careless mistakes. Sad for her though.

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on September 17, 2013 at 7:04am: OMG how cool is that!!!!

Comment by GMA of a Sonar Tech on September 16, 2013 at 5:12pm: Barbydahlzz, we actually watched your son's ship pull into port on friday...and yes, Coronado is something else...also the Navy Lodge is top notch...looking forward to going back there in a few months..

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on September 14, 2013 at 7:09pm: GMA sounds like you had an awesome visit... yes, it is expensive eesh, My sons ship just pulled into port friday afternoon from a few days underway for training... Isn't Coronado gorgeous? went to the beach outside the navy lodge while we were there visiting..

Comment by GMA of a Sonar Tech on September 14, 2013 at 6:05pm: Hi everyone...just got back from San Diego where we were able to visit our Sailor in the evening after his "C" school class....It is very interesting to see all the young men and women at this small base keeping very busy and learning all about their new job....we were lucky enough to stay at the Navy Lodge on Coronado "what a beautiful place"...and yes, it is expensive down here...

and yes, there are plenty of places for them to spend their money...

Also our Sailor did TAD with the EOD and enjoyed that assignment as well...take care...

Comment by jillymom on September 12, 2013 at 3:18pm: No doubt about that.

Comment by abuon18 on September 12, 2013 at 2:36pm: Jillymom, those concerns about a FB page are the same as here. This is not a secure site, it is not created, maintained or patrolled by the Navy, it's just another social networking site like FB is. OPSEC is a concern whenever you post anything publicly not just on FB.

Comment by jillymom on September 12, 2013 at 2:28pm: Sharla, the address I use includes a unit # and street address plus city/zip. The downside to creating a FB page is, not only do many people not have a FB account, there are constantly OPSEC concerns and a lot of Sonar stuff is classified. All the Buds (SEAL candidates) recently were told to leave our PIR group, for example.
