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 Sonja on October 6, 2011 at 8:15am: Thanks everyone for your thoughts & prayers. I am going to call her recruiter and see if they can give me any information on where we go from here. I will keep all of your SR's in my prayers as they all finish.

Comment by past45 on October 6, 2011 at 6:58am: Is anyone else having trouble sending private messages? Mine won't send. Just seeing if I can post or if anyone else has had that problem. So if you sent me a message, I tried to respond, but can't.

Thanks.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 5, 2011 at 11:21pm: Oh proud2baNavyMom...I'm so sorry...will pray REAL hard that your son gets to see him at Christmas...gotta go cry now... here is a long distance hug for you

and one for your Sailor for thinking of his PaPa

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on October 5, 2011 at 10:21pm: also praying that he is much better before next weekend bc I hate to have to inform my SR of what is going on.

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on October 5, 2011 at 10:20pm: My FIL is doing better but still is very very weak. Still do not have a release date from hosp, and to top it all off my SR's letter today was so up beat. the mos touching ine was: "Mom, I wish PaPa could be here to see me (my dad), and I can not wait to come home at Christmas and go strait out to grandpa so he can see me in my dress blues!" It is absolutely tearing my heart out to know that my FIL is so sick I am praying everyday that he will make it till Christmas.

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on October 5, 2011 at 10:17pm: nsjc04 I am so so sorry to hear about your daughter. Tell her to hang in there, she can do it. I will keep her in my many prayers.
