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 Kathy on April 15, 2013 at 1:56pm: It is nice and sunny down here in Florida, it rained last night pretty bad on the coast. I am old school I don't do texts, my son knows he had better call me. Besides I would rather hear his voice.

Comment by NavyMomLG on April 15, 2013 at 1:30pm: Glad to hear you Gold Crew moms are getting emails! I have been getting brief but steady texts from my son and it sounds like he is settling in to his shore duty. We are stuck in a cold and wet (sleet/snow/rain) weather pattern here and it is taking every ounce of restraint I have not to fly down to visit him!

Comment by danagagirl on April 15, 2013 at 11:06am: Happy Monday everyone.. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.. Gold crew I have wishes for speedy emails :)

Comment by susan on April 14, 2013 at 8:08pm: Yes, Donna, my son is on the gold. He's brand new so is working on getting quals done but says there's not much time.

Comment by Kathy on April 14, 2013 at 7:13pm: My son was always locked in his room on his computer. He is the new guy they will have fun with him. My son had one Chief that would hid so he did not have to sign the qual cards, he did that to mess with the guys. They can not watch any movies are play video games are any thing like that in till they get there dolphins. My son got his when he was out at sea and I got a really nice letter from his Commander telling me he got his dolphins. My son has told me some of the crazy things that they do on the boat, but it is all to keep the morale up and it is all in good fun they do it in all the branches of the military. I did some when I was in the Army.

Comment by Kathy on April 14, 2013 at 5:09pm: My son and I are use to it when he was 2 years old I had to leave him with my parents for a year while I was oversea in the Army. When I got out it was not easy with my work. Well I did get his 2nd message just about 2 hours ago. He said they are having fun fixing stuff, and his friend just got his dolphins so his first movie they saw was a 007 movie. He also said he does not want to hear about the family drama, just tech stuff. So he sent me a list of tech stuff he want me to email him. He is such a geek. He even told me he finished his Star Wars book and that his nook is giving him trouble, so he wants to buy the new nook out.

Comment by donnab on April 14, 2013 at 5:00pm: I don't mind when my son is close to home, but the places far away are not my favorite times.

Comment by Kathy on April 14, 2013 at 1:32pm: Yep he is with the Gold, are will be for another 3 1/2 months. Hopefully after he finishes his tour at Pearl Harbor he can come back to Kings Bay. Because it is kind of close to home.

Comment by donnab on April 14, 2013 at 1:01pm: Kathy and Susan, both of your sons are on the Alaska-Gold? Just trying to keep it straight who is where. I haven't heard from my son this weekend, but it is nice to know someone has from his boat.

Comment by Kathy on April 14, 2013 at 9:10am: Glad to hear he is doing fine. I did not hear from my son but I know he got my emails. But I don't expect to hear from him for a while. He tells me that they are usual busy on the boat. So I as long as he is getting my emails I ok with that.
