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 jenismer on September 19, 2012 at 8:00pm: I'd give just about anything to have a scene like that at my house right now.... ;)

Comment by navymom3 on September 19, 2012 at 3:50pm: Welcome Rhonda0366. You son will like Yokosuka my son does. Make sure you like the facebook page for the blue ridge as they post pics all the time.

Comment by rhonda0366 on September 19, 2012 at 3:14pm: My son is headed to Yokosuka on Saturday, 9/22/12. He was supposed to be there by the 17th, but no seats headed there. He will be on the USS Blue Ridge.

Comment by awhat on September 13, 2012 at 7:16am: My Dad is 82 and has memory problems but his eyes still sparkle when he talks about his Navy days. At my son's send off party we showed my Dad a utube video of Yokosuka. He watched intently then said "sure has changed since 1952!" LOL!

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on September 10, 2012 at 11:41pm: Rosiemo - certainly hope it works out for you to go. Sounds like a GREAT trip.

awhat - that's neat about your dad and son.

Now you made me wonder about my dad. He was wounded in Korea and spent some time in Japan recovering before they sent him back to Korea. He's dead now, so no one to ask?!

Comment by awhat on September 10, 2012 at 10:46pm: Hello Yokosuka Moms! My son was sent to Yokosuka shortly after boot camp. The really cool part about it is that my Dad was also stationed there in the 1950's Korean conflict. So proud of both if my Sailors! What a legacy!

Comment by CreativeVi on August 2, 2012 at 11:09pm: Congratulations, very good news. Hope your travel is fun.

Comment by idahojeep on June 19, 2012 at 11:49am: The Fitz lost a young man this past week while he was on leave. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Info can be found on the Fitz's fb page.

Comment by bubsmom on June 7, 2012 at 8:17pm: idahojeep - my son is on the Fitz - welcome! Japan is wonderful and bless the person who invented skype. :)
