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 Katie26 on October 25, 2011 at 5:53pm: THEY SHOULD COME HOME, GIVE THEM THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVERRR!!! ):

Comment by LindaB on October 25, 2011 at 1:05pm: The Mesa Verde was deployed early, in March, to support the NATO action in Libya. That's mostly what the ship has been doing ever since. That is not secret information; the Navy has issued news releases to that effect. Everybody is wondering what the ship will be doing now that the NATO action is ending at the end of the month.

Comment by cocojazz on October 24, 2011 at 9:55pm: Im new here.... can you please explain to me what's going on. What involvement is the Mesa Verde playing in this event? My son just joined the ship; first deploy. Even a private message would be great.

Comment by LindaB on October 20, 2011 at 5:28pm: I was reading an ABC News story about the developments in Libya today and saw this paragraph about the US part of the mission in Libya. Proud of our sailors and Marines for being there to support the effort.

"The US effort includes more than 70 aircraft (refueling tankers, fighters for the No-Fly mission, predators) and one US Navy ship, the USS Mesa Verde, which is part of the naval effort."
