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 Monarch06 on October 27, 2011 at 3:42pm: Hi, all. I am new to the group. I hear/see/know that the mesa verde has had a very long deployment. And, yes it would be awsome if they would come home sometime b4 Christmas or the same week would be lovely. I feel for you guys who loved ones who has been gone since march which is very sad so i cant feel the same way you may do. My loved one fly out to the ship this week and had I had a very short to process it all. This is not the 1st I experienced a deployment bu the 1st I have experienced a deployment or flying out and him not being present for the holidays really suck but I do know it is there job. I randomly keep myself busy and often cry b/c its it is hard. But everyone stay strong and it will be a happy day for us all..Miss ODU

Comment by cocojazz on October 25, 2011 at 9:24pm: Thanks LindaB. I know this long deployment has been so tough on the family and friends that have been in it since the beginning. My prayers are with you.
