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 soxfanmarinemom on October 14, 2011 at 9:33am: i wanted to thank everyone for your support on this, he did get a chance to call me yesterday and i shared some of your comments with him, i know that when we were saying our talk to you laters, he sounded better. i am sending him packages once a week and letters from me and his sister every other day. maybe his morale is down because that is the only mail he gets - broken promises from friends and family - but at least he is getting mail right :)
