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 Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on August 9, 2016 at 4:50pm: my soon = my son

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on August 9, 2016 at 4:49pm: Jojo2167 - I'm in the DFW area. My soon finished his 2 years of nuke classes and has been far far away on remote location for almost a year now. Hang in there! The best thing about Boot Camp is you never know when they'll get a chance to call you!

Comment by Jojo2167 on August 9, 2016 at 4:44pm: Hello! My daughter just got to Boot camp last week, so she's just beginning her journey. We are in the DFW area. Anyone else out there in this group from the DFW area?

Comment by SandyB on August 9, 2016 at 1:27pm: Hi Suzan and Stickmansmom, I'm in Missouri City. We should meet at Starbucks on Austin Parkway and Hwy 6 across from H E B to share stories. My Sailor just graduated C School and is living in San Diego and LOVES it. We're heading there for Thanksgiving. Let's try to find a convenient time for all. 5 pm onward works best for me or lunch time.

Comment by stickmansmom on August 9, 2016 at 12:08pm: Hi Suzan!

We are definitely neighbors and I would love to meet sometime. Your years of experience and to know another Mom in the area is a blessing indeed. Please keep in touch and we can meet for lunch sometime...

Comment by Suzan on August 9, 2016 at 10:14am: Hi stickmansmom!
I live in Sugar Land - we should meet!
My daughter has only been in the Navy for a couple of years so I don't know how much help I will be to you...
