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 forrestsmom/deb on March 16, 2011 at 12:35am: I am on the east coast of the US. So I agree with the start of our day to pray as it is the end of theirs. Morning prayer 9am EDT! Just knowing we are all praying together is uplifting. Do not forget to tell those who we are praying for.

Comment by tesla was right on March 16, 2011 at 12:17am: I'm in too. I think at the end of their day (and start of our own) as they sit and process what they've seen and heard that day... 9 hours from now it would be 6 am pacific and 10 pm tokyo (that makes it 9 am EDT)--is that too confusing? throw another time out if you prefer.

I am fairly new too, but glad for the company and support.

Comment by forrestsmom/deb on March 15, 2011 at 11:20pm: I know I am new to this site. Reading the posts speaking prayers leads me to offer this. There is strength in praying together. No matter where we live, if we set a time of day to stop to pray for our kids can achieve powerful results. Please comment.

Comment by forrestsmom/deb on March 15, 2011 at 11:12pm: I have heard from my son Forrest, he lives off base and says it is sad there. He always puts others first and he feels for the Japanese Nationals. Shops are closed, no gas, no one is out, he says. As a mother with a strong faith, still find the emotions strong with worry for him and his fellow shipmates.

Comment by kimmydee59 on March 15, 2011 at 12:13pm: My daughter called last night and they detected radiation at the Atsugi base, that is where she is, also another quake this morning, woke her up out of bed, she said it was a good size one. Im so worried about all our service men and woman. I hope if things get really bad they evacuate them.

Comment by Heidi on March 15, 2011 at 10:36am: Zacs mom, I hear you I would still go too!

Comment by zachsmom*USS Curtis WIlbur on March 15, 2011 at 10:22am: I booked a trip to Japan last week before the earthquake. It's for April 13th because he's deployed from May until December. I'm hoping I can still go to see him:( I need to see for myself that he's ok. You moms know what I'm talking about.

Comment by Heidi on March 15, 2011 at 9:47am: Ang/Bondie, I hear you it is so nice to have such a wonderful support group through Navy Moms! I think at this point we are all so worried about our kids in what their state of mind must be. I think right now they aren"t thinking just on auto pilot and when things settle down thats when they will be thinking and have a hard time with everything that they have seen. My heart gooes out to them all! I am so proud of my son/sailors!

Comment by Heidi on March 15, 2011 at 12:58am: Just received word from my son on the USS McCampbell...Everything is fine though we only talked for minute. They are giving out food,blankets and picking up bodies. May God Bless them All!!!!

Comment by Heidi on March 15, 2011 at 12:13am: This is so scary!.... I worrry so much for our Sailors! I wish there was a way to contact my son since I have not heard from since Friday night for only a minute. Sitting on Pins and Cushions until I can hear his voice!
