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 Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on May 14, 2011 at 1:47am: It really does fly...too fast! I'm trying to put together a slide show for my sons graduation party with pictures from the time he was born to now...I just can't get over how fast that little boy has turned into this man ready to go off and serve his country! Makes me sad and proud at teh same time!

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on May 14, 2011 at 1:38am: Oh no! I imagine tht probably happens a lot! It's such a big commitment for these kids who are probably not used to commiting to more than doing some chores around the house! Being part of the military world now, even at this early stage, has really opened my eyes to so many new things and to how much families go through and how much support the kids really need.

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on May 14, 2011 at 1:27am: Oh, ok. I'll be sure to let him know!!

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on May 14, 2011 at 1:24am: My typing is terrible! Sorry for all of the mis-spelled words! Guess I'm more tired than I thought!!

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on May 14, 2011 at 1:23am: Oh, maybe. He mentioned something about getting in a higher rank if he was able to help get more recruits form his scholl. I don't know f that was true or not.

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on May 14, 2011 at 1:16am: Thanks! No he's not in ROTC.

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on May 14, 2011 at 1:14am: He chose an IT job but is wanting to change that to aomething called SWCC. I am guessing if he switches then his dates will too.
