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 Colleen on January 21, 2013 at 10:56pm: Thanks for the update Amy. I know he will email when he has time. Glad to hear they are doing well.

Comment by Reid's Ma on January 21, 2013 at 10:05pm: That is a wonderful sweet story, Mom. I would have cried all the way through the Hymn. Yes, your sailor looked proud and handsome in those blues! God Bless him.

Comment by Colleen on January 21, 2013 at 9:54pm: It doesn't take much to make us happy, does it? I have to tell you a little story about my Sailor's last full day at home 2 weeks ago. He dressed in his dress blues for church. He looked so handsome. The closing hymn was "Eternal Father, Strong To Save." He was hoping that it would be played, because he loves that hymn. I asked Pastor if it could be played. Well, they took it one step further. The congregation sang verses 1 & 4 and choir sang verses 2 & 3 - the Navy verses. I held onto his arm while the song was sung. Choked me up. What really teared me up was when the song ended, he leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. That is something that I will hold in my heart forever.

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on January 21, 2013 at 8:39pm: oh Colleen.. I hope you hear something! I've written a few emails since they've left. (Don't want to be TOO pesty, ha!) but all I need back is a "Hi Mom....I love you" and I'll be good for a week. :-)

Comment by Colleen on January 21, 2013 at 8:17pm: I haven't heard from my son either Sailormom59. I'll try emailing him tomorrow. Happy for those who have heard from their Sailor. I watched some of the inauguration today and I got all choked up when the Navy marched by him. They looked so sharp.

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on January 21, 2013 at 8:05pm: I haven't heard anything from my son. I'm very sad because ya'll have. It worries me. So good to be on this website, though.

Comment by aatlmom on January 21, 2013 at 6:41pm: So neat to see all the comments. Helps me to get a better picture of their time out. I heard from my son once. Says all is going well. Thanks also for the news links! Keep the comments coming. . I think it will really hit home later on. Holidays and birthday times. I'm sure he's very tired but experiencing so much. Keep them all in your prayers.

Comment by Lisartru97(Ship 07 Div 359) on January 21, 2013 at 6:25pm: Well, we survived our first week! Hope everyone has heard from their sailor by now. My son has sent a few emails to me so far and his girlfriend gets them everyday :) She said they are "I love you" emails and that worries her but I assured her he can't share a lot about his day so only so much to say.My son forgot his pillow but says he falls asleep as soon as he hits his rack at night because he is so tired. I wasn't planning on sending a pillow in a care package. LOL!
