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."

Please, please remember before you post: our sons are part of a Special Operations community, even while in training, and it is vitally important to form the habit of not divulging any information that could possibly compromise the safety of any of their members. This would especially apply to names, dates, places, procedures, etc. You might like to read the "Discussion Forum" titled "OPSEC" for some guidance. If you are still in doubt, please ask one of our members for their opinion by private message before you post. We are here to help each other, but we must be careful at all times.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on January 16, 2010 at 4:55pm: Hi ladies, I'm happy to see more postings. My son's training is just getting started so there's a long way to go. I'm very happy for any information I can get as I'm sure all new moms are. It is tough just waiting and wondering but I guess we'll get used to it. It's that old Navy saing "hurry up and wait." LOL I hope you all are having a good weekend.

Comment by D'sMum35 on January 14, 2010 at 11:48am: Deployment takes awhile! We live close to SD, so I saw my son very often....(I am so grateful!). But he is deployed until March or so....They don't go until they are ready, then they are still learning. My son said they are taking a class on snake bites.OMG! Take care.
