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."

Dear moms and wives, I created this group so we could all stay current on events and get questions answered as we needed them. My daughter has decided to get out of the Navy. I want you and others to be able to continue using each other and this group as a tool. Thanks for everything! Tracy

Comment by Jaime1019 on September 13, 2011 at 9:56am: We are all important!!! My husband works in the communications dept. So his communications rarely go down so I am not sure if others comms are down or not. Hope you hear from him soon!

Comment by LindaB on September 13, 2011 at 9:53am: Good for you, Jaime! I thought the "blackout" might have started. My son called Sunday, Sept. 4, but the call was dropped while we were still talking. He has yet to call back. Had one email about Thursday. I know they are busy ... and I'm sure it's more important for those who are married to call their spouses, than for those who are not married to call their moms!

Comment by Jaime1019 on September 13, 2011 at 9:36am: Yes, I have had both!

Comment by LindaB on September 13, 2011 at 9:19am: Anyone had a phone call from the ship over the last few days? Email?

Comment by soxfanmarinemom on September 9, 2011 at 7:27am: my son is a marine, he is still on fb. since this whole comm. down, i have talked to him 4x's and fb chatted twice - which is more than i have the whole time he's been gone. he said someone left something up and they can't use the ships computers - (i just assumed everyone had their own), so maybe that is the only comm. that is really down

Comment by Jaime1019 on September 9, 2011 at 7:18am: I asked my husband last night about FB and he said they are allowed to use it. He said maybe it is the marines that aren't allowed.

Comment by missinghimtillimkissinhim on September 8, 2011 at 10:49pm: Thank you Tracy taylor-edberg: I planning on writing tons of letters and sending numerous carepackages with all his favorite goodies in them! We did a deployment with the Truman last year but our communication didnt black out very much so he was able to talk most of my day because he worked nights. From what ive read and have been told ive pretty much shoved the idea of talking to him everyday to the back of my head. I love the quote she posted! Spoken from a True military member!

Comment by missinghimtillimkissinhim on September 8, 2011 at 5:30pm: Hey Mesa Verde Spouses, significant others and parents.

My husband will be joining the crew next month and I'm trying to meet other family members with Sailors on the ship. I live in the Hampton roads area, we have no kids but am not against hanging out with those that do as I love kids!

Comment by hmdbridgewater on September 8, 2011 at 9:02am: Like last night it was supposed to happen. No one I know from the ship has been on since, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it did (since it was supposed to happen like a week ago too and it didn't). I heard email is still up, though. So we still have some form of communication.
