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 rosie on March 29, 2011 at 9:08am: just wondering how soon do we get to see our sailors when they do get home ?
do they get immediate leave ? if so,for how long ?

Comment by Jessi on March 28, 2011 at 11:33pm: Mandy that's awesome that you are sending those pics! I just got our sons 2 year pictures done...a little late since he's 2 and a half. But I'm going to send them for fathers day. I would like new ideas for atuff to send too. I have sent him junk food, top roman, pudding/apple sauce cups and his workout supplements that he asked for. So I'm kind of at a loss for new ideas. I did send him some drawings that our son drew for him. And thanks everyone I sure hope that he will be surprised when I get there! Don't know if I will take our son on an 8 hour plane ride though so may just be me. Glad that everyone sounds like they are doing good! We good night ladies!

Comment by mandy on March 28, 2011 at 11:27pm: hi ladies, I haven't been on here in awhile. I'm glad to see everyone is doing well I talk to my husband almost every day hes ready to be home with us. About to send a box out with are son 4months old pictures do you ladies have any other ideas what to send please let me know..

Comment by Jessi on March 28, 2011 at 10:05am: I am planning on going too but my husband doesn't know. I keep telling him that I won't be able to get the time off work since I just started my new job. So he will hopefully be suprised. I would be interested in the banner info as well!
