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 Johanna on September 12, 2013 at 9:47am: Jean, Congratulations on your sons achievement. Now the real journey begins!

Comment by Oneofalot on September 12, 2013 at 8:35am: Good Morning to Everyone

While My son is one more step closer to be able to leave for BC. He did the test yesterday. He scored a 96 so he can do just about anything he wants. He can't go nuke though because he got his GED instead of finishing school. He got bored with it and wanted to go to College.

Comment by Johanna on September 12, 2013 at 7:03am: Mumo14, He is very excited and very 19!!

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on September 11, 2013 at 8:56pm: Well, sailor told me I was making leave more stressful for him worrying about passports, enhanced drivers licenses, etc. I told him that was fine......all he needed to do was get himself home. Bear hunting could wait for another time.

Johanna....safe travels for your son. I am not sure I would ever want to do that on my own!

Comment by Storymom on September 11, 2013 at 3:51pm: Laurie I feel that way too, with just 1boy in the Navy ! :-)

Comment by Johanna on September 11, 2013 at 9:20am: Hey Jean, 67 for this Saturday, but in the meantime, the heat makes the bees and hornets crazy, so I am dashing through my yard pulling weeds and trying to stay out of their way!!

Comment by Oneofalot on September 11, 2013 at 8:37am: Johanna, it will be in the 90's here also. What happened to Fall? Oh yeah, it will be next week. LOL.

Comment by Johanna on September 11, 2013 at 8:33am: Good morning Jean. 92 here today. The apples are going to turn into apple pies right on the trees!!
