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 Debi on March 4, 2013 at 3:38pm: Hello other WI Navy Mom's !

I'm just at the beginning of this journey as my SR is down at boot camp now. He left on 2/19 so we're just starting week 3 of this process. Last night he called but we missed the call due to poor cell service and the voice mail was so garbled that we couldn't understand what he was saying. It's been a hard night and day to say the least. Hopefully some of you veteran moms can pass on words of wisdom and experience on how to survive this time :)
