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 reedm on September 16, 2010 at 8:00pm: Thanks Sindy! No I hadn't heard of the Summit from the Ombudsman. I am about to check it out. You guys rock!

Comment by DCT MOM on September 16, 2010 at 7:57pm: Sindy when did you go to the motomail site i went a few days ago and the 26th wasnt there but today it was right under the Pearl Harbor. You have to check the Marines . i tried the Navy first and didnt find anything. i sent my first letter about an hr ago.

Comment by reedm on September 16, 2010 at 7:36pm: Thanks DCT MOM!!!! Meeting you all is making me feel better. Kinda of like a lifeline........knowing others have the same feeling I do.

Comment by DCT MOM on September 16, 2010 at 7:28pm: Welcome reedm!! Were all moms in this together. I have a son that is a Marine Reserve. He was in from 95 till 2001, He was at Camp LeJunne.(sp) and a sailor on the Kearsage.

Comment by reedm on September 16, 2010 at 7:27pm: Do they tell tha soldiers to make motomail accounts? I am wondering if my soldier has ever heard of it.

Comment by reedm on September 16, 2010 at 7:25pm: Thanks Elizabeth!! I will check out motomail too. Haven't heard of it before.

Comment by DCT MOM on September 16, 2010 at 7:22pm: I also sent a letter to my son today through motomail. Hope he gets it okay.

Comment by Susinovoa91 on September 16, 2010 at 7:14pm: I read on the Summit that when sailors/marines get to Pakistan they wont be able to receive packages, letters or emails. The only way to communicate with them is through motomail (www.motomail.us) I sent a letter to my boyfriend today and it will b delivered tomorrow. They are able to create an account also... great way to communicate.

Comment by reedm on September 16, 2010 at 7:05pm: Hope you guys don't mind me joining in. My son is a Marine instead of a Sailor but he is in the 26th Expeditionary Unit deployed on the USS Kearsarge. His dad and I found this site last night. It was a Godsend. We actually saw him in a pic on the Facebook page we found out about through this site. Thanks so much to all of you that have shared info. We have learned more here than anywhere about our son.

Comment by embarkguru on September 16, 2010 at 5:29pm: Julie I'm not sure what you mean. The only port has been in Greece a few days ago. On a lighter note, we can officially announce that the have finished transiting to the Red Sea. We are not sure if RC has been lifted yet but they can flush the toilets! Ewww. I will post something about this on Face Book when we get home. Some will find it funny or at least interesting.
