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 jenismer on January 24, 2013 at 12:09pm: Heard the same from mine. Said he's sick of cleaning already. ;)

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on January 24, 2013 at 11:09am: Got a note from my sailor. Said they worked through the weekend getting ready for the swap. So if you haven't heard from yours, that is likely why.

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on January 23, 2013 at 2:52am: New pics on the Cowpens FB page, both ships!

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on January 18, 2013 at 10:30am: He was signing up for one of the Captain's Cup runs. Guess reporter got it wrong. He assures me he is on the Cowpens......lol I was just happy to see him; even if it was just the side of his head....lol

Comment by jenismer on January 16, 2013 at 3:04pm: That's pretty cool!!!!!

Comment by davesmom on January 16, 2013 at 11:06am: Mike's Mom, How exciting to see his pic! How did he happen to get it taken on the GW? Isn't he on the Cowpens?

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on January 16, 2013 at 10:39am: Thanks to Stephanie for the heads up. My sailor got his pic on the GW facebook page. Yeah!! Amazing how such a small thing can really make your day.

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on January 15, 2013 at 12:08am: We're hoping for spring of 2014, if he's still there.

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on January 14, 2013 at 12:51am: Always - my sailor will be staying in Japan. I had hoped the switch might go the other way and maybe give us a chance to see him, but, that's the military for you. On the good side, he Loves Japan.
