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 September 15, 2013 at 6:22pm: She had mono in 2010 for 3 months. Can you get it again??? Would they quarantine her from everyone so there's not an outbreak...good grief, I hope so.

Comment by spyder013 on September 15, 2013 at 6:19pm: I dont think so....from care my daughter has received on the ship. If serious issues think they can move her to big ship for care.

Comment by Chels's mom on September 15, 2013 at 6:18pm: I didn't think it was an actual "PHD". But not 100% certain, I was just looking to see if anyone knew for sure.

She's been fevered, throwing up, sore throat for 8 days. And after day 3 "doc" accused her of being pregnant, gave her MOTRIN, and sent her back to work. She emailed me this morning that all of her gums are vibrant red and very swollen/inflamed, and she managed to take a shower and her hair was falling out in clumps. She stated that she feels worse than she had and the "doc" told her that her tonsils looked swollen, and if she still has a sore throat in 5 days he can do a mono swab.
