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 Proudmom on September 21, 2013 at 8:57pm: They have all kinds of fun things going on all day. I heard it's a blast.

Comment by Proudmom on September 21, 2013 at 8:55pm: I got a message from the keasarge. It is to late to join the tiger cruise. So sorry. But there is a nite before party,,and I heard the homecoming party on the day they port up on the pier is awesome.

Comment by Proudmom on September 20, 2013 at 9:10pm: I'm not sure about the tiger cruise you have to contact snowc@lhd3.navy.mil

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on September 20, 2013 at 4:55pm: This homecoming will be fantastic, if you are able to attend! This video is a "Cox Video Diary" about the most recent homecoming of 'sister ship' USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) in Norfolk after a long deployment. It captures the event and the high emotions, and it focuses on NAVY MOMS - major tissue alert!!

Comment by Patti on September 20, 2013 at 4:33pm: My son said the deadline for Tiger Cruise was 2 days ago?

Comment by Proudmom on September 20, 2013 at 11:37am: .we have a lot of family in different parts of the military but my son is the only one out of 5 that was interested it was real real hard letting him go we were very close but I am very proud of him and I can't wait to see him I can't believe the time is almost here I am so excited if you want to do the tiger cruise u really need to get started. I will have my daughter show me how to send you a private message and maybe me and you can exchange emails this way I can give you more information

Comment by Proudmom on September 20, 2013 at 11:34am: My son can't wait for us to come.he has been deployed for a long time now. A couple of months. About 6 months. Me, my husband, my son, and my daughter. Maybe my 12yr old twin grandsons.are going. I can't say when, but it's real soon. What does ur sailor do on the ship. My son works on the flight deck. He is abh airman apprentice. Do nice to talk to someone else from the keasarge

Comment by Mrsdelac on September 20, 2013 at 7:49am: I will email him and see if he wants us to come, or at least his Dad. Our sons name is Ethan. Sending him was heartbreaking, but I knew all his life he would join one of the branches...from the time he could walk he'd practice marching. I know our middle one will not join, our "baby" maybe...that would be taking my prayer life and faith life to a whole new level.

Comment by Proudmom on September 19, 2013 at 10:19pm: Ur sailor will probably have to get this started on his own. So make sure u get him the email for snowc
