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 Brooke on April 23, 2016 at 10:43pm: Has anyone heard any information on the tiger cruise?

Comment by Cynthiajb on February 29, 2016 at 3:34pm: After two and a half years of training, my son is finally leaving port; a worthy milestone in his Navy career. Sometimes it is bittersweet to achieve your goals in life. Happy for him, being supportive of his precious bride, thanking them both for their service to our country!

Comment by Scheryl on February 18, 2016 at 6:24pm: Ny son is still in SanDiego He graduates from C school April 18. He received his orders today and will be sent to the USS George Washington and will be stationed in Newport News =, VA. His wife will be stationed in San Diego, They met in Great Lakes and got married while they were on leave during Christmas. They are both in tears at the moment and I am feeling helpless. There is nothing I can say or do to make them feel better Has anyone else been through this situation?

Comment by MaggieMay on February 9, 2016 at 2:53pm: Thanks for the update Alyce. It's such a difficult road for those who are not where they are meant to be. I praise your son for having the courage to try, by no means is he letting anyone down. I pray he gets the help he needs and is able to move on with his life and discover what his true calling is. I thank him for his service and courage!

Comment by TJCsMom on February 9, 2016 at 1:35pm: Alyce, I'm so sorry to hear that your son has been struggling! Military life is not for everyone...if it was, everyone would serve! Thankfully, he is getting the help he needs and I pray he will continue to seek help when he is finally home. Please, thank him for his willingness to serve our country and let him know that I am keeping him, and you all, in my prayers!!

Comment by Alyce on February 9, 2016 at 1:11pm: Hi, thanks for asking. Sorry it took so long for me to respond. My son has been having a lot of difficulty adjusting to life on a ship, and has been receiving therapy for depression. Unfortunately for his Navy career (but fortunately for his health), this is becoming the end of the road. He feels terrible, and feels as if he let himself, the Navy, and everyone down. He's going through the process of medical separation, and may be home soon.
