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 mikes mom on August 13, 2011 at 12:27am: I'm glad you both liked it.. For the past few years I have followed that rule and it is truly easy ... I have a precious son on this ship and I have said from the beginning this is an easy deployment.. Meaning They are not in the sandbox... I had no idea we were having these problems in our group I thought it was just our FB group.. Wow, Please follow OPSEC RULES : ) We never know who might be lurking.. Thanks : )

Comment by mikes mom on August 11, 2011 at 1:43pm: I found this a while ago ... Please goggle OPSEC everyone should read them....

Comment by mikes mom on August 11, 2011 at 1:41pm: I am Sam. Sam I am. Do you like OPSEC and ham? I do not get it, Sam I am. I do not get OPSEC and ham. We must use it here and there. We must use it everywhere. You CAN share it in a car. But you CANNOT in a bar. You CANNOT share it in a ...text. You CANNOT share it at the NEX. You CAN say it in your house. But should NOT tell a random spouse. You CAN say it in the shower. But do NOT go sharing at ...happy hour. DON'T make the Ombudsman sweat. DON'T post it on the internet. You CANNOT share it in a tweet. That would not be very sweet. Beware of Facebook and Myspace too. It's tempting to let your feelings through. You Cannot tell it to a friend. NOT even at the very end. It is a privilege to know a date. DON'T tell ANYONE or they may be late! Oh, I get it, Sam I am. Now I get OPSEC and ham! I will not tell anyone. I will keep hushed until they're done! I will not tell him or her. I will not tell my dog with fur. I will not tell my child's teacher. I will not tell any creature. Thank you, THANK YOU, Sam I am. Thank you for clearing up OPSEC and Ham!
