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."

NukeMamaB - Those are normal feelings. My son left 4 years ago on Oct 7 - his birthday! Nuke is a tough course after boot camp. As long as she does her studying and PT before BC she will be fine!

My daughter just entered DEP as a Nuke undesignated with a leave date of October 4th. Very nervous, proud and excited all at once.

HI momto navymat -- I don't think we have anyone leaving that same day. Good luck to him (and you)! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

We used to live near you in Sandy Hook. We just moved to FL! Although, I am still active in the FB CT Navy page. We had enough of the weather and taxes - not necessarily in that order!
