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."

Hi everyone I think I am all signed up for the Russell group. I hope I followed Amanda's directions for the yahoo group. I can't wait to see the information about the ship's crew.... My son is studying very hard for a test next week. I spoke with his wife yesterday to find out why I haven't heard much from him. I guess he is really busy with studies and work. I pray for all of them to pass their up coming test. I believe I will need help as well with my home page. I'll have to have my youngest help with it. I have no clue how to make a home page. The kids today are so good with computers..God Bless you all Teddybear

Hello everyone. I recieved a message from Amanda from the Omundsman. I Finally found her. Thanks for all your help... Praying for all of our sailors. NY Mom your son building his college credits is Terriffic...He doesn't need to know what field he wants right away. Just getting his education to give him more choices is so important today. He will always have the Navy background to continue forward in the Navy or Somewhere else. You must be so Proud. I know I am of all our men and woman. I am not saying that others who are not in the military aren't special. I just feel that the ones who serve have something others will never experience. God Bless them all Teddybear
