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 granny of 2 on April 15, 2013 at 12:01pm: Just wondering if anyone has heard from their sailor on the Fitz.? Praying that all is well and they will soon be headed back to port!

Comment by Spokane Sailormom on February 10, 2013 at 1:45am: I had that problem with notificaton just now...this site is still public...so nothing high security can get posted. It keeps the sailors safe... my son will be leaving the Fitz in a few months... I know they will be out of contact for a while soon..

Comment by Sailor's Mom on February 10, 2013 at 1:18am: Just found out my son will be on the Fitzgerald in about a month.

Comment by Spokane Sailormom on January 3, 2013 at 2:12am: And welcome Jody.... Hope everyone on this site had a great new year!

Comment by Spokane Sailormom on January 3, 2013 at 2:09am: I have been in contact with my son... they are still in port. I was afraid that they had been called out too.

Comment by Spokane Sailormom on December 10, 2012 at 9:31pm: my son got to call... he is very sad that they cant make it home for holidays..

Comment by angela101287 on December 10, 2012 at 8:05pm: actually theres nothing you can really do.they will allow you to cancel it and use it to later date and you have to pay for cancellation i think and pay again for booking and also you have to pay whatever extra on that.but if the customer service is really nice to help u they will refund the money.happend to me before i have to cancel my flight cuz hubby wont be home in japan.but the next time i cancelled another flight the customer service saying he cant do anything about it
