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 NavyMom on August 6, 2011 at 7:53am: @ProudNavyMom, thank you. My son was also at SD for a year for his courses. The only good thing is we live about 3 hrs. away from SD, so he's home when he got a chance. I knew he's missing home now......after those long wait...

@DebM, thank you. He mentioned that, too....he said "Mom, i'll probably talk to u in my next port".....

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on August 6, 2011 at 7:37am: Our daughter graduates Monday from A school 2nd in her class and we are very proud of her. She is assigned to Maypor after OPS. I am enjoying reading all your posts and wish your sailors God speed and good fortune.

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on August 5, 2011 at 1:41pm: Anyone on here have anyone on the Carney?

Comment by ProudNavyMom on August 5, 2011 at 12:48pm: Hi navy mom....welcome. My daughter has yet to deploy...at the rate she's going, she might never! lol. She finishes C school this month, then has a month long course...somehow related but she's also expecting in March so I doubt she'll see deployment before 2013! She jokes that the fleet is a myth...it doesn't really exist. haha.

Comment by NavyMom on August 5, 2011 at 11:22am: hello everyone, i am new to this and hope to catch up. missing my son so much who just left last friday for his first deployment. got emails for the first 3 day,,, i guess they're so far away at this time.. no more emails...

Comment by ProudNavyMom on August 4, 2011 at 12:36pm: Yes, if they are deployed it is irregular. When I mailed stuff to my daughter priority, she was in San Diego....it arrived in 2 days. I imagine when deployed it's ineffective.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on August 4, 2011 at 8:39am: I've sent packages to my daughter via Priority Mail and she gets them in the promised times. If you want something to arrive quickly, you might try that.

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on August 4, 2011 at 8:19am: tmsy22.. thanks for the response. Good ideas of what to put in the boxes. SF has a birthday aat the end of this month. We celebrated while he was home but a little something at the time is n order I believe.

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on August 3, 2011 at 7:59pm: Heard from my deployed stg today. He is on his first deployment. Left Monday. He is liking it although he did bust his head open on his rack. He likes the stg job. IIt was good to hear from him.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on August 3, 2011 at 7:52pm: Josh'saunt...it could be weeks and weeks before he classes up. My daughter worked in the galley and did some duty driving while waiting to class up.
