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 kari (ship 11 div 180) on July 1, 2013 at 11:57am: Thanks for the updates...I was starting to get concerned myself.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 29, 2013 at 3:38pm: Please let's all remember to observe OPSEC here, which includes not discussing security measures. Operational Security guidelines

Links to the FRG and Ombudsman Team, and how to join their Facebook pages, are above in the Discussions.

Comment by brenda.elaine on June 29, 2013 at 11:36am: No emails because they are in River City which means they are unable to email. I believe it will be like this for another week. No worries though. Everything's fine. They are still updating their Facebook page. Just no communication for a bit.

Comment by runnermom999 on April 23, 2013 at 7:47am: My son told me they can receive emails but can't always send as they go dark at times. Hope this helps. :)

Comment by Patti on April 23, 2013 at 7:29am: Often times I have difficulty sending e/mails to my son on the Kearsarge, anyone else have this problem?
