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 kab on February 25, 2011 at 3:05pm: Thanks 2 in service - for being there to see off the ships. Safe sailing to the Boxer, GreenBay and Comstock !!

Comment by Elane on February 25, 2011 at 12:13am: @navynana it is not unusual for their email to be down. It happens from time to time on the ships. If they are sensitive areas or if they just don't have the email capability up and running yet.

Comment by cheffiona on February 24, 2011 at 10:52pm: its down because it broke again it did the night before deployment and they nearly did notleave sd! Was not until my daughter got there at 5am morning of deploy that we knew the ship was definately leaving!

Comment by cheffiona on February 24, 2011 at 10:50pm: the communiocatiojns are down no emails no cells no internet it was posted on fb this morning and they are working on getting it fixed i did post thison here earlier

Comment by BM3Simswife on February 24, 2011 at 10:40pm: My husband is a boatswains mate and on the VBSS team. I mailed a package today as well. I agree they will contact us as soon as they can. I'm sure once its up and running everyone will be trying to use the computers. So it may be a while.

Comment by Cheryl on February 24, 2011 at 10:35pm: Hey BM3, my son is an ENFN and he was on the last deployment. What does your husband do? I haven't been to the ship's facebook page. But, it makes sense that they don't have everything up and running yet. I know my son will probably contact me as soon as he can. I mailed him a package today.

Comment by susanm on February 24, 2011 at 10:30pm: Sometimes email is down for a while when they're out at sea. My son told me to expect this-- it's normal.

Comment by BM3Simswife on February 24, 2011 at 10:02pm: Hi Cheryl, was your son on the Comstock for his 1st deployment? This is my husband's 2nd deployment on the comstock. It said on the facebook page that all email and telephone communications on the ship are down for the time being. 1hat does your son do on the ship?

Comment by Cheryl on February 24, 2011 at 9:48pm: Hey everyone, my son is on the Comstock and this is his second deployment. Doesn't make it any easier. But a little easier I guess to know what to expect in someways. I haven't tried to email, but I'm going tonight, keep checking hoping to hear something, but I know that I really will probably not hear anything for awhile. These groups do help and good friends come from this group also. Look forward to getting to know all of you.

Comment by navynana on February 24, 2011 at 3:14pm: Thank you for letting me know. I also just got the message. I had sent an email yesterday. This reminds me of boot camp. Guess we all have to settle in to the routine, as do all of them. Hope everyone is having a great day!
