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 Kaye S. on January 9, 2009 at 1:46pm: Welcome, Karen. And it's lovely to have another Texan using the word, "Ya'll" around here!

Comment by John and Yvonne on January 9, 2009 at 12:47pm: Welcome Karen!

Comment by lauren on January 8, 2009 at 7:07pm: Amber I thinnk they missed the transplant on my Kellen , because when he was home there was a TRAIL of his stuff everywhere.................I'm blessed that he still feels so much at home to really relax... , Although this time home he would not let me do his laundry. He said he wanted me to relax and he was taking his dirty clothes home and doing them, and when it can time to leave he picked everything up folded everthing (even dirty) perfectly ( because he refolded what I folded for him) and packed
all I could do was laugh

Comment by Kaye S. on January 8, 2009 at 6:33pm: Our guys DO rock! But I still want to know how my son can get through nuclear power school, but can't balance his checking statement? He's even allowed to use a calculator!

When he was in 7th grade, he said he wanted to try out for basketball. I told him I didn't think he'd be very good at it. He was shocked because I was always one of those moms who was supportive. With hurt look on his face, he asked why not? I said, "I don't see how you're going to get a ball into a basket that's 10 feet in the air when you can't get a sock into a hamper on the ground at your feet." (He was not amused) ;-) k.

Comment by lauren on January 8, 2009 at 6:18pm: I agree Kaye, but my son is driving (goodthing I taught him first....lol) We can all worry together, but how cool is it for them Not just anyone can do this job.........our guys ROCK

Comment by Kaye S. on January 8, 2009 at 5:20pm: I figure Son is safer in that submarine than he is in a car on the freeway:
1) He's not driving
2) It's highly unlikely they'll run into something.
3) It's highly unlikely someone will run into THEM.
4) The guy who IS driving has a college-educated adult watching him.
5) No one in the vehicle is drunk or stoned.
6) They can't run out of gas.
7) If they break down in a bad neighborhood, they brought the mechanics.
8) They can't see girls on the sidewalk or in the next vehicle.
