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 SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on August 3, 2011 at 12:21pm: Ruth, I'm certain we are both wearing the same shoes. I will pray for our sons together. Feel free to PM me & we can talk further.

Comment by polli k on August 3, 2011 at 1:41am: Ruth.. I will definately send up prayers.... Iknow they work... It is so hard on our young adults.. but also hard onus Moms soI will say a prayer for you also.. That youcan continue to be the light of hope for your son....It worked for my daughter who was in a similar situation....

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on August 2, 2011 at 1:02pm: This is minor in the scheme of things, but my son has yet again met a young woman that we thought could be "the one." She ended it because she didn't think she could stand the long distance/separations necessary to be a Navy wife. He's 28, was married once that ended in divorce for that reason--she decided after a year she didn't want to be a Navy wife. Not married in the church, and he says next time will be for keeps with a priest there. Please pray to St. Joseph or whoever you have a direct line to :-) to send him someone. He's patient and has decided to enroll in college so he's busy and not looking again, but he's also lonely for a soulmate.

Comment by polli k on August 1, 2011 at 6:57pm: Thank you Mom's for all your safe travel prayers for my daughter and family. They are on the West Coast in AZ now, visiting son-in-law's family, on to OR. I truly appreciate all of you and will bepraying for all of your concerns when posted!

Comment by polli k on July 27, 2011 at 11:46pm: Thank you mom for your prayers for my daughter and family.. They have gotten held up in TN with car trouble.. That should be fixed tomorrow and hopefully they can continue westward with no more trouble. I will also be praying for the Boxer sailor and his/her family and the crew of the Boxer as well.
