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 mamasan 4/809 on January 10, 2013 at 1:52pm: My son is on his first deployment as well. We've gotten pretty accustomed to having him around. We live in Snohomish, just the next town over from Everett. He's an IT, but is doing is kitchen duty now. Low man on the totem pole...he's got that for two more months.

I appreciate this site and look forward to being a part of this community over the next many, many months.

Comment by kristy on January 10, 2013 at 1:46pm: Darlene, Thanks for the post. My son, the ship"s cook, has just embarked on his first deployment. We enjoyed time with him over the holidays and he spoke very positively about the crew. Even still, first deployment or last, it is still hard, eh? I appreciate the experience,support and knowledge that you have for us loved ones at home. Can you tell me more about the email? i thought that it was pretty sketchy and unlikely to keep in touch so if thats not true I sure do feel awhole lot better about this.I look forward to bonding with others via this website.

Comment by spyder013 on January 5, 2013 at 12:35pm: Are you here for deployment? We have tons of last minute stuff like packing, etc. stressful but trying to have some good memories/fun;)

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on January 5, 2013 at 10:22am: Hello Girls.. My daughter will be deploying with the USS Shoup as well. Any tips on preparing for deployment?

Comment by spyder013 on January 1, 2013 at 2:58am: Yep, I came up with daughter day after Christmas and will be here through deploying;)

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on October 6, 2012 at 1:03pm: Welcome Karen!

Comment by Tmon on October 1, 2012 at 7:27pm: I am not sure whether he will be working with my son. He is a HP03, I think. Either way, welcome.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on September 22, 2012 at 5:28pm: We settled into military housing in Marysville. Snohomish is really local.. that must be nice to be so close.
