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 NavyMomx3 on June 6, 2011 at 11:04am: My son will be going to HI soon to be assigned to a sub. I just learned about Ombudsman today on the NavyMom sight. I've not heard of it before. I did just e-mail my sailor requesting he sign me up. I'm trusting he does so.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 7, 2011 at 7:00pm: Are you a member of your Family Readiness Group (FRG)? They will know.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 7, 2011 at 9:40am: *have*

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 7, 2011 at 9:38am: The link is www.ffsp.navy.mil. About halfway down that page on the right, it will say Click on this picture to contact your Ombudsman. Just follow the instructions from there. Or if you are in a N4M group for your ship, ask the members for your Ombudsman's email address; someone should likely already has it.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 7, 2011 at 9:30am: Hi Martha, you need to contact your ombudsman who is specific to your sailor's ship and make your request. This group is here only to help folks locate theirs. See the first Discussion above for help.

Comment by Paulette,Rob's Mom on July 12, 2010 at 10:50am: Just wanted to send a big THANK YOU to Ashley the Ombudsman for the Wsst VIrginia gold crew. She helped me get a package to ROb and it is sure nice to have someone close to the crews to turn to for help and support. You all do a wonderful job and are really appreciated by us moms so far away. Thanks again

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 25, 2010 at 12:09pm: Good morning all. My son has joined the USS Iwo Jima and I'm hoping to find contact information (ombudsman, FRG etc.). Thank you!

Comment by kaemommy on June 14, 2010 at 9:57pm: I am leaving soon also! We are transferring to RI after my husband graduates from OCS. I think they are in the process of finding someone to replace me!
