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 LindaB on January 8, 2012 at 10:08am: We are signed up for the Tiger Cruise. Our ensign sent us forms to fill out weeks ago, well before Christmas - medical, etc.

He paid whatever it costs for us.

This past week, he forwarded a schedule and other information about the cruise. We will be parking our vehicle in Norfolk and taking the bus to Morehead City.

Your information should have been coming from your relative on the ship who is sponsoring you for the cruise.

Comment by Lisa on January 8, 2012 at 3:31am: Yes we were but no info so far

Comment by cocojazz on January 8, 2012 at 1:31am: Good Info. Please keep posting when anyone gets any. Is anyone planning on the tiger cruise?

Comment by Monarch06 on December 1, 2011 at 7:41pm: Oh woa, yea awesome. Yes, I am excited for the next couple of months to come. I am happy for all.

Comment by Katie26 on December 1, 2011 at 12:10pm: Another month down! Something encouraging, my sailor told me today they only have about 25 days left of deployment before they start making the journey back to us!!! real nice way of thinking out it

Comment by Michele on November 21, 2011 at 8:07pm: CAN SOMEONE TELL ME AGAIN HOW TO CONTACT THE SHIP IF YA NEED TO? THANKS

Comment by hmdbridgewater on November 20, 2011 at 7:04pm: Yeah I would like to know the same thing TinaG, this is my first deployment as well.

Comment by TinaG on November 20, 2011 at 7:01pm: This is my first deployment, and I was curious how the whole homecoming thing works? Will more information be provided when the date gets closer? Like expected arrival time and... I don't even know what else to ask because I have no idea what to expect....

Comment by cocojazz on November 14, 2011 at 9:47pm: Does anyone have any info about how the tiger cruises work?

~ Tracy ~ I think you're right about the post offices; they received no mail on Friday, maybe next time.
