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 Ginnysue on April 1, 2014 at 11:35am: Ellen, I grew up in O'Fallon and live 20min north of there in Old Monroe; small world! Thank you for the info, I will look into it.

Comment by Ellen on April 1, 2014 at 10:55am: I just saw you're from Missouri! We're from St. Louis, and are getting ready to move to Columbia in about three months. We still have family in St. Louis, O'Fallon, and Wright City.

Comment by Ellen on April 1, 2014 at 10:53am: Hi Ginnysue, welcome! Yes, they will definitely fly him out to either a port or to the carrier, and then onto Truxtun. If you're on facebook come check out the FRG and Ombudsman pages to keep up to date with ship activities. You can search USS Truxtun FRG and USS Truxtun Ombudsman. Glad to have you and your son aboard!

Comment by Ginnysue on April 1, 2014 at 10:33am: So, it is more likely my son will be flown out to the ship at some point than it actually coming in? I am clueless about all this!

Comment by CQEOC on April 1, 2014 at 10:22am: Pat L, Thank you for the clarification on which page, Carolyn

Comment by LindaB on April 1, 2014 at 9:29am: Hi Ginnysue! Welcome.I wish the Truxtun could come pick your son up in Norfolk. Then we could all go see our sailors!
When my son was on his previous deployment, he was flown home for school in Newport, and then flown back to the ship he was on at the time. On the way, he went to Djibouti. He said that was quite an experience!

Comment by Ginnysue on April 1, 2014 at 9:04am: Hello all! I am new here. My son just arrived in Norfolk last Monday. He is an MM and is so excited to be serving on the Truxtun as his first assignment! Now, if it will only come pick him up! :0)

Comment by Pat L. in IL on April 1, 2014 at 7:59am: Good Morning Truxtun Moms, Molly's Adopt A Sailor has chosen the USS Truxtun as our April adoption. Please come to the "Molly's" page and join in the fun!
