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 misisu on May 8, 2018 at 10:00pm: Hello. Is there anyone there? How is the time in the yards going for your sailor? I am hoping mine will be able to strike a rate in Sept.

Comment by misisu on July 26, 2017 at 10:56am: Well, my son has orders to the Carter Hall. I sure hope he will enjoy his time there

Comment by ssbeach on July 6, 2017 at 9:27pm: Hello Ladies, my son presumably joined the Carter Hall this morning - he flew out last night. He was previously on the Anzio, which is now in drydock for a major refit. He's an ET. Our son-in-law is a nuke currently on shore duty but headed to the Rhode Island soon. Happy to join you here!

Comment by misisu on June 10, 2017 at 8:02am: Kimberly68 - my son is undesignated but on Temporary Hold until Jun 28th. He would like to work as LS or SH. He was recommended to get in touch with a mentor on the ship while waiting.
Very exciting for them to be on deployment. I will check out the Facebook page as well. Thanks for the information.
Has your son only been on the CH?

Comment by misisu on June 9, 2017 at 10:48pm: My son just graduated boot camp and has orders to the Carter Hall. Would like to know if anyone is out there interested in sharing about their kid and the ship

Comment by 10mileloop on May 13, 2017 at 9:16pm: Wow, this is difficult. Mom of first deployment..good days bad days..

Comment by 10mileloop on May 13, 2017 at 9:14pm: Any word on the recent RAS? I have sent 3 packages..

Comment by ANTHONY'SMOM on April 21, 2017 at 4:50pm: My son recd his first care package and he was so happy. Seems it was on another ship but the thing is I had already shipped out another one and forgot to put LSD 50 on the second one also .. (sigh) I will be sending him another one tomorrow with some more goodies and this time Ill have the correct address .. True what they say 3rd time is a charm.

Happy weekend to you al :)
