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 debschnell on October 26, 2011 at 11:15pm: 1windhaven --- I had San Antonio on the brain. He's in San Diego and on his first cruise. Lucky you to have your son in San Antonio.

Glad those letters are coming! Such a thrill --- and relief.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on October 26, 2011 at 10:40pm: Thanks debschnell. So many moms of SR's in my sons group received letters this week.

Comment by debschnell on October 26, 2011 at 9:56pm: ProudNavyMom, he'll write. I hear the Navy makes them in basic. My boy is in San Antonio, and prefers to e-mail and call, but I really love the thrill of the boy letter. My mother saved all of my brothers' from WWII, and they are a treasure to read.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on October 26, 2011 at 9:38pm: No letter for me today.... hopefully I'll get one tomorrow or I just might cry!

Comment by debschnell on October 26, 2011 at 9:31pm: Brenda Sue, thanks for all your help in putting this together. Can't wait to see everyone in San Antonio.

Comment by Maria ( 9/132 - HM- 04-2011) on October 26, 2011 at 9:26pm: Sherry, I read something about that in one of the post but if I remember right one of the problems is that if they are tight on time this is not the best option. Sorry I wish I knew more about this.

Comment by SherryYmom Ship 07 DIV 055 on October 26, 2011 at 8:50pm: Does anyone know anything about our sailors having the opportunity to fly from base to base for reduced or free rates?? By the way, I am in the Ft. Worth area and my son is in San Diego :). Thanks so much for any info or advice!
