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 CTmomof3 on February 3, 2013 at 10:01am: My husband did the Tiger Cruise and said it was something he will never ever forget, It's the experience of a life time. Life on a ship it tough he learned. BUT..you needed to let your sailor know asap as they only allow so many "tigers" and the spots fill quickly.

Comment by CTMom on February 1, 2013 at 5:52pm: Hi Everyone,

My son Paul is in boot camp right now..well, RCU since he fractured his elbow. He is in phase three of recovery right now. Are any of you from southern Fairfield County by any chance?

Comment by Leisure-Ley on January 26, 2013 at 11:28am: Good Morning CT Moms...Its been awhile since i've stop in to post, I now have 2 US Sailors, AO serving on the USS Stennis and BU (Seabee) at A school in Gulfport Mississippi. My AO has given me info to participate on a "tiger cruise" sometime in April, Honulolou to San Diego.... has anyone done this before? it sounds amazing! Im thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity, it just depends on how well my "money tree" is growing..LOL
