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 BlessedMom on October 22, 2012 at 8:25pm: cmmom...God bless his journey from one W's mom to another. I revisit the same emotions everytime I hear a new class begins and ends. We all remember so very well the path the new moms are embarking w/ your W's. What class is it now, 73? May God encamp His angels around each and every W starting BCT w/ your son and also our sons deployed or soon to be deployed. I'll share what my W says to me, "be strong and be well, Mom!" God bless us all! ((group hug))

Comment by Trixiebell on October 22, 2012 at 11:01am: Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Comment by Trixiebell on October 16, 2012 at 4:45pm: "If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being.

There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level."
