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 NavyMomLG on July 31, 2013 at 1:46pm: Thanks tylers-wife, is it something they take on the boat when they go out on patrol?

Comment by tylers-wife-4-life on July 30, 2013 at 3:46pm: Calender pages are pages with the dates on them decorated for the sailors. I bought one and decorated it for my sailor

Comment by NavyMomLG on July 30, 2013 at 3:23pm: Kathy - I thought that's what you had said awhile back but I sometimes mix up the information between the three groups I follow!

Does anyone know what the Calendar Pages are that the Alaska Blue FRG is putting together?

Comment by Kathy on July 27, 2013 at 7:42pm: My son is going to Pearl Harbor for 3 years of shore duty.

Comment by karinabeana611 on July 26, 2013 at 2:59pm: Kathy-Good luck to you and your sailor! :) You have been such a great help these past few months!! :) Thank you!! :)

Comment by NavyMomLG on July 26, 2013 at 1:38pm: Kathy, where is he going? Good luck to both of you, and thank you for all of the information you have shared these past months. It would be great to continue to get updates from you!

Comment by Kathy on July 26, 2013 at 12:32pm: Well ladies as of Thur July 25 my son is no longer with the USS Alaska and will be off to his new base. I wish everyone the best and if any of the new moms have any questions please send me a message if I can answer any I will.

Comment by Kathy on July 21, 2013 at 10:47pm: My son has been on the boat since July of 2009 he wanted to extend but was to late putting in his paper work. But my son did reenlist for 6 more years in the Navy. I will be going up to Kings Bay on Wed to pick him up for his leave. He will spend about 3 weeks home then off to do 3 years shore duty. I have been after him to star taking some CLEP test so he can get some college under his belt but you know how kids are sometimes. I told him that he does not want to be in his 40's trying to get his degree like I am doing right now.

Comment by AmyTX on July 20, 2013 at 5:35pm: Thank you all for the welcome! We have been in Georgia once to see our son and it's really a neat place. Love the Kings Bay area! My son is a MT. So far, everything he has done in the navy, he has liked - except for the oc spray! But he survived! It's great to "meet" some people on here so we can keep in touch since our boys are all on the same boat!
