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 eriksmom on March 10, 2011 at 12:02am: I had no idea, Melonie!! Thank you for the info!

Comment by Tmon on February 24, 2011 at 9:25pm: I can't wait to hear the stories. I bet they have some great ones. I am sure Aaron does. I am glad that the ship will be home soon.

Comment by eriksmom on February 24, 2011 at 12:38am: That was awsome, BigSis!! Thank you for sharing!

Comment by BigSis on February 23, 2011 at 11:38pm: Sailors Keen for Taste of Tassie - my sister (Lauren) is listed - look for your sailors.

Comment by eriksmom on February 23, 2011 at 4:05pm: Kristines Mom - If I thought there was more than a 3% chance of them pulling in close to that date, I wouldn't have posted it. Even so, you're right - I'll be more careful.

Comment by Tmon on February 23, 2011 at 7:22am: How many countries does that make? What an adventure! I thought I saw my son in the photos, but no. It was an exciting 30 seconds. I don't plan on visiting. We are planning a wedding for June so we are hoping he will be home.

Comment by rjrx2k on February 22, 2011 at 9:21pm: I haven't heard from my son for around 3 weeks. I'll have to ask him in my next e-mail if he fell off the ship. I would like to see him when they pull into port but I don't know when that will happen. If anyone knows please tell me so I can plan for plane tickets ect.

Comment by Tmon on February 19, 2011 at 11:14pm: I am so jealous of all of you. I have not heard my son's voice since he left. I would love to talk to him. He has had difficulty getting through to me. What an exciting time for our sailors. Unfortunately, Aaron was not in any of the photos.

Comment by Seans Mom on February 19, 2011 at 3:34am: Heard from our son a couple of nights ago but the call was cut off. Love reading all of the articles and seeing the pictures that are out there. Has anyone heard if they are having a tiger cruise on their way home?
