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 crzygirl66 on March 26, 2011 at 5:36pm: are your other halfs on the mccain?

Comment by crzygirl66 on March 26, 2011 at 5:05pm: hopefully the mccain can port soon and call there lovied ones as well.

Comment by LoriG on March 25, 2011 at 10:14pm: I just talked to my son. I am so glad. I haven't talked to him since sunday. So tonight I emailed him through his facebook account. He says things are starting to get back to normal in Yokosuka. That is kind of a relief for me as he is land based. I am sending him two packages tomorrow. Sending packages and joining this site is really good therapy for me.

no word lately, I did find photos from their stop in Sasebo. Also there is McCain on fb only you have to go to it and read the wall. The captain has been posting pretty well and reassuring to all. No reason to expect them to move, other than the more things are predictable, the less predictable they are. I'm sure their very busy and doing fine--smiles on the faces resupplying at Sasebo.

Comment by crzygirl66 on March 25, 2011 at 4:57pm: hello everyone hope everyone is well has any one heard from there lovied ones on the uss mccain? recently.. any one know yet if there moving our military out of japan as well

Comment by LoriG on March 25, 2011 at 4:24pm: I am so glad they are heading to shore. Check with your post office about the packages. I am not sure if all post offices do the same things. ; )

Comment by LoriG on March 25, 2011 at 4:04pm: Thank you for the information and the Serenity Prayer. It is so true. I have decided to send my son items to share with other people.

Comment by LoriG on March 25, 2011 at 2:43pm: Awsome, Thank you!

Comment by LoriG on March 25, 2011 at 2:02pm: That is awesome! Where is the best place to adopt a sailor? I want to adopt someone who may not be receiving packages and needs things.
