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 tackijacky on March 9, 2013 at 9:53am: Earls Wife... is your hubby still in the kitchen? Maybe he could get a message to my son, to call me as soon as his restriction is over.

Comment by Earl's_Wife on March 9, 2013 at 1:03am: Thorntonwife is right, they take their ID's and post their pictures by the quarterdeck so they can't go out.

Comment by thorntonwife(ship 12,Div 003) on March 9, 2013 at 1:01am: They even go as far as putting their pictures on the wall by the entrance saying their restricted.

Comment by thorntonwife(ship 12,Div 003) on March 9, 2013 at 1:00am: Go navy mom when they are on restriction they can't leave the ship at all.

Comment by Earl's_Wife on March 9, 2013 at 1:00am: Gonavymom when they are on restriction they are not allowed to leave the ship unless is for official business (single or married, you are not going home) and they are restricted, no phone calls, no video games, they just go to work, when they call liberty they have to report to extra duty (as punishment) and after that bed time.

Comment by thorntonwife(ship 12,Div 003) on March 9, 2013 at 12:56am: Hey ladies I am currently in Norfolk so if you need any info let me know.Tacki I know a whole group of guys are in some trouble right now , not anything I would think is that serious.

Comment by tackijacky on March 9, 2013 at 12:23am: Thank you everybody, you would think they would be allowed to contact family to let them know they would be out of pocket for ?? days. That way us crazy moms wouldnt lose our minds...

Comment by Earl's_Wife on March 9, 2013 at 12:06am: Tackijacky happy to know he is okay.

Comment by tackijacky on March 8, 2013 at 10:08pm: Thank you gonavymom....I contacted the ship and found out he is on restrictions, cant wait to hear this story, but at least I know he is safe and sound.

Comment by tackijacky on March 8, 2013 at 12:36pm: Can somebody please private message if the Wasp is IN or OUT? I have been trying to get ahold of my son for 2 weeks, and his phone directly to his voice mail. I checked his phone records and no activity on it for the same amount of time. I was not aware of any scheduled underways, so I am very concerned.
