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 Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on April 20, 2013 at 9:44am: I have gone to Dollar General and picked up silly toys, like bubbles, balls, and silly putty. Anything that seems silly. Remember, they have crazy hat day on the ship on Thursdays. If you find any silly or crazy hats, send them to your sailor.

Comment by spyder013 on April 19, 2013 at 10:14pm: great idea to send fun things for them on their special day! Be sure to include silly things alsi to make them laugh.

I feel your pain. My daughter will be turning 21 in June and this will be her 2nd birthday away from us. I hope to put together a fun filled care package for her when the time arrives.

Comment by NyteShayde on April 17, 2013 at 2:09am: It's my Rachel's 20th birthday today (4/17). The first without her home, you know this is a tough one. :'(

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on April 5, 2013 at 1:52pm: Thanks spyder013. Sarah was very excited to see her dad for sure!

Comment by spyder013 on April 5, 2013 at 1:44pm: Glad you skyped with Sarah...;)

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on April 5, 2013 at 1:41pm: My husband and I were just able to Skype with Sarah. That was way over the top awesome! She did say that the ship is broke down so they may be there for a little while longer. She has to take a bus from the ship to the base, where they go to the liberty center to use the computers. Hope everyone is doing well!

@Nyteshade-well we have to do what we have to do to get our kids to communitcate with us! Glad you heard from her.
