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 navymom2011 on March 13, 2012 at 4:00pm: SusanN,
You may be able to help me also, my don is going to be a machinist mate what about yours. Where are you both from? We are in NC, my son is in GL still

Comment by navymom2011 on March 13, 2012 at 3:56pm: Blakesgrandma,
Hi my son will report in the next few weeks to the ship, he was told that it had already deployed, it sounds like by your comment that is hasn't. Can you let me know if it has already deployed and if not, when it will be deploying? He was told that they will fly him out to the ship if it already deployed.
Thanks in advance!

Comment by Blakesgrandma on March 13, 2012 at 3:42pm: my daughter reported to the ship Monday. She's stressing because she has so much still to do before deployment.

Comment by navymom2011 on March 5, 2012 at 7:22pm: Thanks for all your help and info! Maybe our sailors will meet one day :)

Comment by navymom2011 on March 5, 2012 at 12:51pm: Thanks Lynne! Is the IWO JIMA deployed right now, my son seemed
to think it was or going to he very soon. He said they would then fly him to the ship??? This is all new to me....

Comment by navymom2011 on March 4, 2012 at 6:32pm: I guess that was a dumb question on my part being that your name is Corpsman Mom, LOL! I live in NC. Is your sailor currently on the USS IWO JIMA?? If so, do you know how you get to communicate with them when they are at sea? I read that it is being deployed this month??? Thanks for your help.
