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 aatlmom on July 11, 2013 at 2:11pm: Reids Ma, Thank you for the encouragement.....still a five minute call would mean so much. There is so much I feel out of the loop with!

Comment by Reid's Ma on July 11, 2013 at 8:17am: aatlmom, if your son's on the Stockddale he's working on his ESWS (enlisted surface warfare specialist) pin. Dolphins are for submariners. They work on the division assignments AND the added stress of ESWS to keep their rate. Keep up the encouragement!

Comment by Lisartru97(Ship 07 Div 359) on July 11, 2013 at 1:57am: Did everyone have a chance to see the free homecoming banner offer on the USS Stockdale page? Just ordered mine!

Comment by aatlmom on July 10, 2013 at 9:37pm: I have emailed, face booked, sent letters and packages....:(

Comment by Mommyto2sailors on July 10, 2013 at 7:42pm: My son said he put his name down for one if us to do the tiger cruise, I'm not sure if it will be my husband or me that goes. At this point we are gonna fight over it hahahaha! Are any other moms going who have sons on the ship? I am just wondering if it is better for dad to go just because they're the same gender.

Comment by Colleen on July 10, 2013 at 6:48pm: Sorry you haven't heard from your Sailor aatlmom. Have you tried emailing him?

Comment by aatlmom on July 10, 2013 at 6:14pm: We want to but haven't heard from our sailor since the end of May......

Comment by Colleen on July 10, 2013 at 5:34pm: Hi Annie, not planning on the Tiger Cruise. Would love to but I also have to save some vacation days to go to FL to help my Mom in Aug. But I'll be there in SD!

Comment by Annie on July 10, 2013 at 5:23pm: Hope y'all had a wonderful 4th of July!! Counting down the days! Can't wait! Anybody interested in doing the tiger cruise? I sure do! Hope everyone is hearing from their sailors and I am praying each day for them, and hope they are keeping their spirits up!
