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 Minnie on June 24, 2013 at 5:04pm: My boyfriend is pretty bored, too. He works plenty, but during their downtime, they have the same books, movies, etc that they've had for months. There's only so much Mario he can play before he gets bored! lol

Comment by Kathy on June 24, 2013 at 3:21pm: No what I mean is what is his job. Rank is E4 and rate is ET, MT etc.

Comment by captainkatie843 on June 24, 2013 at 1:03pm: E4 I think and he just got his dolphins

Comment by Kathy on June 24, 2013 at 12:01pm: What is your boyfriends rate.

Comment by captainkatie843 on June 24, 2013 at 8:50am: My boyfriend emails me way more often now and always says how he is bored on the boat. He said there isn't much to do.

Comment by Kathy on June 24, 2013 at 8:28am: If your son is on the blue crew his is on shore duty right now. Shore duty is not at busy, but if you are the crew that has the boat then you are really busy.

Comment by Kathy on June 23, 2013 at 9:05am: That is ok, I am not new to the military thing, but I am new to the Navy lingo. My mom use to get lost when ever my sister and I would come home on leave and would be talking to each other. We would have to stop and explain to her what we were saying. My sister was Air Force and I was Army. The best way to learn is to ask questions. I am sure your guys will be home soon. How much I don't know.

Comment by karinabeana611 on June 22, 2013 at 11:41am: oh okay. :) Sorry about the mix up, still new to all this! :)

Comment by Kathy on June 22, 2013 at 7:02am: No he is not getting out of the Navy he is just going to his next duty station. He has just done 4 years on the sub so now he does 3 years shore duty and hopefully back to KB after that. KB is the closest sub base to our house.
