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 zStratMom on November 12, 2012 at 9:42pm: I do. Great pic, sent to several family members yesterday.

I'm trying to arrange a surprise, but want to make sure the plan would NOT interfere. Does anyone know someone from the ship galley?

Comment by BlueHawaii on November 12, 2012 at 7:06pm: Any body recognize their loved one? This photo was posted to my son's FB page..love this photo!

Comment by zStratMom on September 11, 2012 at 8:55am: Hi, Denver Moms . . I don't want to you to give away any OPSEC info, so I'm tying to frame questions appropriately . . .

Is there a difference in frequency of hearing from your sailors when the ship is in port versus underway?

Do they have access to internet while underway, (phones or laptops) underway, or only in port?

That should get me started. Thanks in advance for your help.

Comment by zStratMom on August 28, 2012 at 9:06am: I'll be putting son on plane in next few days. Is there someone whose sailor traveled recently to Sasebo? Port Call letter suggests he must carry a LOT of cash . . . is this true? When they touch down at the final airport, what should he expect in terms of transportation to the base and check in?

Comment by Mandie on August 2, 2012 at 8:00pm: What is the congratulations for? What news did I miss?

Comment by zStratMom on July 29, 2012 at 11:14am: For those mom's with Sailors have already arrived / served . . . what part of the prepare to go "checklists" worked best for your sailors? Are there any hints you could share? Are there any gaps on the list we should plan around?

Comment by Mandie on July 26, 2012 at 4:33pm: I love that our little group is growing! Welcome to the new ladies!

Comment by zStratMom on July 23, 2012 at 11:02pm: Hi USS Denver moms & loved ones . . . I just got the call today that my son will be heading your way AFTER some leave here at home. Look forward to connecting . . .
