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 Buzzbeck on January 23, 2017 at 9:21pm: This is a sad topic. Praying for all of our sailors.

Comment by roguevalgal on January 22, 2017 at 7:02pm: Yes, momof2sailors, I was saddened to learn of the accident involving the two officers. So glad they are finally recovering at home now. I will ask my son if he knows yours and let you know. Take care and thank you and both your sons for their service.

Comment by momof2sailors on January 22, 2017 at 2:11pm: roguevalgal, your son may know mine. Last name Beck. It's just so crazy. You know last month VAQ 132 had that accident with one of their birds that sent 2 pilots to Harborview in Seattle. Satan needs to get his hands off our Sailors. Last month my son that is stationed in CA had one of his shipmates committ suicide. My son said there was no signs.

Comment by roguevalgal on January 22, 2017 at 1:43pm: Our son IS in VAQ132 squadron and this was his previous LCPO. Very sad. Condolences and prayers for his family and for squadron personnel. So important for sailors to be shipmates to one another and notice changes in mood or behavior, excessive alcohol use, depressed conversation and report as needed - take care of one another. It's not easy being in the military.....

Comment by allie1928 on January 22, 2017 at 11:10am: mom of 2 sailors it saddens me to read your post. I will keep the squadron and the chief's family in my prayers. I don't understand it either. I worry all the time about my son ...military life is not easy. We all need to support them and continue to pray for all our military. Take care.

Comment by momof2sailors on January 21, 2017 at 11:42pm: Well after watching a wonderful inauguration yesterday we got some sad news today. We got word last week that a Chief from my one of my son's former squadron up at Whidbey Island was missing. Today we found out that he was found and had committed suicide. Both of my sons within a month of each have experienced someone in their squadron commit suicide. I just don't understand. And I don't know what to say to my son or to my "NAVY KIDS" in the squadron. Please keep VAQ132 in your prayers. And for his wife and 2 young boys.

Comment by Storymom on January 9, 2017 at 2:41am: Made cream of potato soup in the crockpot today, with homemade veggie broth, leeks and turkey ham (& a splash of dry wine). Delicious, and made me think of our Sailor - January is Soup month in our house :)

Comment by Storymom on January 6, 2017 at 3:05am: Buzzbeck-- wonderful news about your son--always nice when Mama Navy works it all out ❤

Comment by Buzzbeck on January 4, 2017 at 10:44pm: Our sailor got unexpected leave to come home for Christmas which made me a very happy navy mom. Momof2sailors, praying for your son. I am so very sorry.
