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 Dyon Abbott - Kevin's Mom on July 19, 2010 at 10:08am: BunkerBee.....thanks for all your tips.....already got all my ''hatches' covered & 'gear' properly stowed.

Comment by BunkerQB on July 18, 2010 at 11:19pm: I spent the last day with five young women (the North Cal Retreat for Young Wives, Fiancees and Girlfriends). Our future is in good hands. I thought being an "elder" mom (since I am old enough to be a mom to some of our Navy moms), I would have pearls of wisdom to pass on. Wrong. I learned from these young gals the meaning of perseverance, dedication, tolerance, focusing on goals, money management & friendship. I came away feeling if the future of our country is in the hands of these young women and their sailors, we will be OK. More than OK.

Comment by LZ27 on July 18, 2010 at 10:58pm: Planned on a quiet day at home, both kids were have an"end of the world" experience. Spent a lot of time on the phone with each of them. Then I took my dog to her favorite fenced in lot to find a great big mud puddle that she just loved to dig in with her nose and paws. My yellow lab looked like a dalmation by the time she was done (which didn't take long) and then she shared her muddy glory with me! She was not happy to get the hose shower outside but that muddy dirty dog was not coming in my house! Now I have my nice clean yellow dog back. So much for a quite day at home. Oh yeah the Yankees won today!

Comment by LZ27 on July 18, 2010 at 12:30am: They did so well on midterms and drill they got their phones back last week. J said the same thing about his DI too. He said he has learned a lot from including respect.

Comment by pgrlisa on July 17, 2010 at 11:36pm: L727 - Yay for Candio phase. He may get his cell phone back soon, depending on the instructor. BTW, my daughter loved her DI. She said he was tough, but fair. Graduation is so close now!

Comment by snowmc on July 17, 2010 at 6:58pm: L727...hated missing the call from OCS...only happened once! After that, the phone was glued to my side! Good luck during Candio phase...the end is near!

Comment by LZ27 on July 17, 2010 at 4:18pm: Dang missed a call from my son from OCS. He will be starting the Candio stage and will have more info on graduation, orders, leave etc. Hope he calls back. In the meantime hibernating from the 106 degree forecast

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on July 17, 2010 at 12:37pm: Happy Weekend. Sorry i haven't been a round a in a few days my LO and I are finally in our home town. Getting ready for our pack up, and traveling to see family next week. I hope you all have a good weekend!

Comment by Paymaster on July 16, 2010 at 11:01pm: Sally....Oh I think you are so wrong. There are only things they will call there parents for. Believe me! Just wait. Mine is married and there are things he will call us for and not his wife, and I mean this we have the best DIL in the world!

Comment by spensmom on July 16, 2010 at 10:58pm: Hi, All, Lots going on here. Belated birthday wishes, Sally. Hope that boy of yours comes around soon. Welcome, Nancy!
Thought I would let you all know that I had almost an hour conversation with my son on Skype today. It was 1 a.m. where he was. He said he was exhausted from all the exercises/watch he has been doing. It was good to be able to lay eyes on him, though. They are enjoying being in port now. It's amazing how much better you feel after you talk with them or just see them......most of the time. :)
