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 Annie on September 7, 2013 at 5:23pm: It is official on the delay, but cruise still will happen. Just have to re-adjust and move forward!! I have been talking to my son and he is staying strong, optimistic, and yes he wants to come home! But, they know they have a job to do, and he will stay positive. Nice saying Colleen! Hang in there moms!

Comment by Colleen on September 7, 2013 at 11:23am: Sending ((hugs)) to you Lisa and to all Moms. I emailed my Sailor and told him, "Every wave that rolls by your ship is a hug from me."

Comment by Lisartru97(Ship 07 Div 359) on September 7, 2013 at 10:42am: Today is my son's Birthday and I woke up early to send off a Birthday email only to hear that they aren't coming home when planned. So disappointed! Hugs to all you moms out there...I know I need one.

Comment by WackyWaveUSN on September 5, 2013 at 6:34pm: I talk to mine pretty regularly. Hang in there moms. We'll get thru this and so will they. We have to stay strong for them. Deployments are rough, but they are well trained, and they are a good crew. Don't fall into the trap and propaganda on the television either. I speak from previous experiences, that the key to getting through all of this is to stay focused on the positives and support your sons and daughters. Don't believe everything you hear, and don't repeat it. It just causes stress and worry that probably doesn't need to exist, and certainly doesn't help anything.

Comment by aatlmom on September 5, 2013 at 4:47pm: Yes, I talked to my son yesterday. It is a long deployment....praying....hoping they get to come home on time....Just wish I could hug him....

Comment by MaggieH on September 5, 2013 at 4:33pm: I do understand that this is what our kids signed up for...but it has been a really long deployment and I really want my kids home

(son in law is on the Nimitz)

Comment by Annie on August 22, 2013 at 6:46pm: The Stockdale is currently on deployment but coming back soon!! This is a long deployment, 9 months. I know my son cannot wait to get back! They went to the 5th fllet this time around. I think they stopped in some pretty nice ports, especially going to Israel. My son really enjoyed that port and Singapore. He said things were just a bit pricy though. I am just looking forward to him being back and spending some quality time with him.

Comment by Ty's mom on August 22, 2013 at 12:38pm: Thank you all for the wonderful welcome I am very happy to be part of this group!!! Annie my son is a CTT and he is extremely excited to be going to beautiful San Diego!!! Colleen I do not live in MI, I live in boring old Nebraska lol. So is the the Stockdale deployed or ported right now? when they go on deployments where do they usually go and for how long?
