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."

My son is still in Groton waiting for this boat and this will be his first hurricane. He is a little on edge! Hoping for unevetful travel for the Pasadena!

I was wondering the same about the hurricane. I also took a youtube tour of the Panama canal.  Pretty neat, but takes along time.

My son and daughter are together for the first time since Christmas 2008. I am so glad they had this stop in San Diego. Looking forward to having him in the same time zone....

I didn't realize it was going to stop in San Diego. His buddy is there and would have enjoyed seeing him.

Welcome!  I know my son will be glad to not be low man on the totem pole!  He made it to Hawaii just in time for this pass deployment.  He is looking forward to their stop In San Diego.  His sister is a nurse out there and they should be able to hang out. Yeah!

Hello all, My son is going to be joining the Pasadena when it arrives in NH. He is patiently waiting in Groton until it gets there. I know he is excited about this next venture!
