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 sethmom on April 13, 2018 at 4:10pm: Hey does anyone know of any place I can order a birthday cake for my son ? His birthday is next Friday.

Comment by 2tymeNavyMom on July 31, 2017 at 2:11pm: Has anyone heard how the bomb threat turned out last night. My son works at the hospital and they had to evacuate mid surgery. They were sitting at Mc Donalds with some of their patients others were in ambulances waiting for the all clear.

Comment by sethmom on July 18, 2017 at 1:29pm: My son is on his second week in Yokosuka and he is adjusting well! So glad! I want to ship his fishing pole to him and some Bojangles biscuits. Any suggestions on the best way to do this. I know I will need to ship each thing separately but what carrier should I use and so on?

Comment by Beachmomblue on July 17, 2017 at 8:50am: My son has been in Yokosuka for about 4 months. Just had the USO deliver him a birthday cake. It was wonderful.

Comment by Cheryl-TedsMom on June 20, 2017 at 8:07pm: Does any one have any information about what we can do for the crew members of the Fitzgerald? Stories are saying the crew in the damaged berth(s) lost all their possessions. Our local veterans want to help out, but I can't access anything from their official site. Even the link to the Ombudsman but none of the contact link were working. We would like to send things out after our meeting on Saturday, but we need to know what is needed.
