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."

You need to be a member of What's an Ombudsman and FRG and how to contact them to add comments!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on October 16, 2012 at 10:29pm: Welcome new members! It's important to be on your sailor's Ombudsman and FRG lists to be able to get important information while maintaining Operational Security (OPSEC). Communications about homecomings and dates, for example, is not to be shared here on N4M or any other public site. Your Ombudsman and FRG will communicate that information securely to those on their lists.

OPSEC guidelines are here: OPSEC Guidelines

Info for locating your Ombudsman and FRG is in the Discussion Forum above.

Comment by mother always on August 19, 2012 at 3:00pm: Good afternoon

Thanks to God,he sent me an email saying that he went to his CO and reported the PROBLEM and I wrote problem with capital letters because this woman is terrible,I say this not because he is my son,but he is a very nice,gentle and respectfull young man and she treated him so wong...so hurtfull, now she is going out with one of his "friends",he even was this guy's mentor...I told him to be cool because she wanted him to get in trouble...but as I say he is always very polite,thanks to God.

They are going out on deployment and they are all going together...just hope she goes her "correct way"...the CO called her and talked to her,what happened there...we don't know...

Thank you for your answer,Seahorse!

Comment by mother always on August 14, 2012 at 9:18am: Good morning

I would like to know what a sailor should do if a female sailor is menacing to hurt herself,talking loud,throwing beer at the guy when working,following to his dorm if the sailor don't want to renovate the relation with her...I'm afraid for my son...he loves his military carrer,he is a CORRECT GENTLEMAN, I can assure that, and he has worked har for what he accomplished.
