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."

Comment by Chels's mom on October 1, 2013 at 2:21pm: Hi All,

Did everyone get the email from Tia? the ombudsman?

Comment by spyder013 on September 27, 2013 at 8:51pm: I like your logic....heres hoping you're correct;)

Comment by joirenee on September 27, 2013 at 8:36pm: By my reasoning, if the UN has voted and accepted an agreement concerning Syria shouldn't our boys and girls be coming home soon? Has anyone heard anything?

Comment by Chels's mom on September 23, 2013 at 10:43pm: FYI

Hello SHOUP Families

Regular communications have been restored onboard.
Our Search and Rescue efforts ceased earlier today and the two pilots remain unaccounted for. The pilots' families were notified and we are all thinking and praying for them. Three Sailors were rescued by helicopter and small boat yesterday afternoon and they received medical care today. They are doing well.

Comment by joirenee on September 23, 2013 at 10:40pm: Yes, I agree MomofSailorEm I am hoping that none of us have to go through this fear. I personally do not believe that I could get through it. I hope the second two are found. I just want my son home. I don't think I will let him go anywhere out of my sight for quite awhile if I am given an opportunity to see him again.

Comment by lynnee22 on September 23, 2013 at 10:39pm: My sentiments exactly Em...The loss of the 2 pilots just breaks my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones. I am especially praying for the safe and successful return of our sailors.
