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 Rhonda on January 6, 2012 at 1:29pm: Laura the unrest out there is really scary for sure. I did see on CNN that most the budget cuts would hit the Army. The Navy will be one of the least efftive. So thats a little bit of a positive.

Comment by Rhonda on January 6, 2012 at 2:44am: Welcome CBs Mom!!!

Comment by CB_s Mom on January 5, 2012 at 11:39pm: Hello Moms from the beautiful state of Texas. I am from deep east Texas and my Sr is in week 4 of bootcamp. He is loving it and has been taped as the recruit chaplin. We are so proud he is following his dream and will be going to nuke A school in Charleston, SC as a grad and go on Feb. 3rd. Whoop Whoop go Navy!

Comment by Cece on January 5, 2012 at 10:02pm: After 7 years, it still is difficult when they leave again! Our son is in the 5th fleet that we keep reading about in the newspaper! That is kinda' nerve-wracking! With technology, it is so nice to be able to keep in touch, though!

Comment by Rhonda on January 5, 2012 at 9:35pm: Laura~ So glad you are getting time with your son!! I just came back from DFW from sending my son back to Norfolk!! I'm always sad when we send him back but knowing it will be almost a year before I see him again is making it worse I think. May will be 2 years that he has been in. Dose it ever get any eaiser???
