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 vacanita on June 9, 2013 at 4:16pm: Know that as a Navy mom we are all with you. In good times and in bad. Our thoughts and love and prayers are with you.

Comment by Donna on June 9, 2013 at 4:03pm: Donna,

I'm so very sorrow to hear of your husbands passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Comment by bclmomct on June 9, 2013 at 3:58pm: Oh ProudNavy/NYPD Mom -- what a terrible shock. Praying for you. Very sorry to hear that.

Comment by Valtameri on June 9, 2013 at 3:41pm: What an awful shock. I am very sorry to hear that!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on June 9, 2013 at 2:55pm: Valtameri (& other CT Mommas), I thought you knew. My husband died very unexpectedly on May 20th. It was complications from pneumonia + a few other health issues. He was 66. I feel soo lost without him. We were married when I was 19 and would have been married for 42 years in October.

Comment by Valtameri on June 9, 2013 at 1:10pm: Dear Proud Navy Donna,

I'm not sure what happened, but I am terribly sorry to hear that things are so difficult.

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on June 9, 2013 at 10:41am: Hi CT Mommas! Just wanted to stop in and let you know I'm managing. Everything is sooo much harder than I ever could have imagined in my worst nightmare. My heart is broken and the tears come at the most inopportune time. But I wanted to thank you for your messages of sympathy and promises of prayer. My Navy sisters have really rallied around me and I feel so blessed to have you all in my lives.

I'm not up to planning anything, at least not anytime soon. But if someone else plans a packing party or get together, let me know and I will try to make it.

Thank you again for your love and support. N4M Hugs >>

Comment by Donna on June 8, 2013 at 11:17pm: Valtameri, is your son deployed? Where is he stationed?

Comment by Valtameri on June 7, 2013 at 8:17pm: How nice that you will be seeing your son, Donna. I think we will see ours later this summer. We last saw him at Christmas.

Comment by Donna on June 7, 2013 at 5:53pm: Hi Denise

When was the last time you saw your son? At times it can be a very empty feeling not to be in their lives on a daily basis. My son isn't deployed but boy o boy is it a challenge to get him to either answer the phone or text messages I send. It'll be wonderful to spend time in July with him.
