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 Sara on March 29, 2011 at 8:34pm: Glad to hear so many are getting calls from their Sailors. It's very encouraging.

Hopefully the Shiloh will port soon and I'll get a call. Question: Do our Sailors get

mail when their out or do they have to wait till their back in port to get their mail?

Comment by KatK on March 29, 2011 at 11:52am: R&BCook, you can sign up for google alerts for the USS Cowpens and any time there is anything in the news about the ship they will send you an email. Sometimes I learn more from the google alerts than my son. My son says I can't say this or that and then it will come up on google alerts. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing but it google alerts does help me track his ship.

Comment by R&BCook on March 28, 2011 at 10:14pm: Has anyone heard from the USS Cowpens CG63 - my son is on the ship and I have not heard from him in a couple days.
