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 tesla was right on April 1, 2011 at 1:00am: Janet--thx for the photos...nice to see and wow!

Betsy--glad you got a call! i had another email from mine, wish we could talk by phone.

crzygrl66--hope you got word, but I know they're all fine

Everyone keep sharing! great photos on facebook at the mccain page too

Comment by tesla was right on March 26, 2011 at 10:30am: late last night word from my son, typical one sentence email. hello--all are safe--not much happening.

Comment by crzygirl66 on March 25, 2011 at 5:46pm: TESLA YOU CAN DO EITHER OR THANKS SO MUCH

Comment by tesla was right on March 25, 2011 at 5:18pm: crzygirl 66--no word, if I do I'll post. or do you want a direct message? I don't expect them to move out of japan, our help is greatly needed.

if the media hype about the nuke plant is getting to you, turn it off. our guys and gals are mobile at sea and the navy will watch out for them.There is a lot of irrational fear about nuclear radiation that drives the media for attention. Not to say there isn't danger, but also context, its not going to turn everyone on the planet glowing green.

more people were in danger from the tsunami and now the cold and hunger/thirst. that's what we're there to help with.

Comment by crzygirl66 on March 25, 2011 at 4:59pm: hello everyone hope all is well.. has any one heard from there lovied ones on the uss mccain? and also any word yet if our military is being movied outta japan? thanks

Comment by tesla was right on March 23, 2011 at 8:44pm: I see on facebook in Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo there are photos of the McCain resupplying there. There are smiles. So good to see!
(mine still hasn't checked in, but as I said, there's evidence that they're all fine)

Comment by crzygirl66 on March 19, 2011 at 7:59pm: HEARD EVERYONE IS FINE ON THE MCCAIN..

Comment by tesla was right on March 19, 2011 at 7:55pm: just rec'd email from mine on the ship. not much to say, but he's reaching out so mom doesn't worry. now i'm passing it on

I didn't see mention of the McCain in the news either, but mine told me they are already at sea full speed expecting to help. My guess is that whichever ship is loaded and ready has been sent to aid. Will just watch and keep listening. They can provide so much--making safe water, electricity, cleanup, more. who knows?
