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 Largefilipino on March 14, 2011 at 9:07am: Today's summit left a foul taste in my mouth. If the government shuts down so would troop pay. Personally I think our troops deserve NFL pay but that's just me.
And Welcome Hawkmom! I'm usually not great with saying hi so much.

Comment by Pat on March 14, 2011 at 12:11am: Welcome Hawkimom! Your son may be in the same shop with my daughter since she is a CTR. I get short emails from her too but I know that they are busy.

Comment by Hawkimom on March 12, 2011 at 11:15pm: Well, thank you. I have been reading posts here since November and gleaning info after we learned our son, 19-y/o from Iowa, was being assigned to this ship after he finished his A School in Pensacaola. He is in IT. He made it to the ship in the middle of Feb. What a deployment this has been!!! I am almost on overload with all the world events to date... keeping my fingers and toes crossed and trying to think happy thoughts... Dad and I worry a lot about him, but he seems to be holding up in the short e-mails we do get from him. Go Navy!

Comment by Largefilipino on March 11, 2011 at 2:08pm: I'm so glad the Navy is looking out for us.

Comment by Hawkimom on March 11, 2011 at 8:54am: My thoughts and prayers are with the people and our Navy in the Pacific.

Comment by Largefilipino on March 10, 2011 at 10:07am: It was a Marine article about the 22nd MEU from the Jacksonville Daily News . Don't want to break any rules but if you read it thru it all makes sense.

Comment by Largefilipino on March 9, 2011 at 9:34pm: Real nice article today essentially saying the Kearsarge is right on schedule.

Comment by Largefilipino on March 9, 2011 at 9:38am: Sissi,google USS Kearsarge then click news. When you scroll down you'll see Stay up to date on these results:
Create an email alert for USS Kearsarge
Then click that and type in your e mail.

Comment by Pat on March 9, 2011 at 7:42am: Had not heard from my daughter for a while either and finally got a very short email. I too am sure that they are very busy. The news does not sound very positive. Keep praying!
