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."

DCM Mom, Thank you so much.. I too was panning this site for answers and I found some Seasoned Sailor Moms and some New Sailor Moms and this site has really helped me to "kinda" relax and settle my nerves...But we are Moms and we will always have that sense of concern whaling up in us....lol Yes we will get through this by the Grace of God and I wish I could say that I will see you at Graduation but I doubt if we get to meet each other unless by Divine Appointment... Take care, Keep Praying, Keep the letters rolling, Keep Watching the Mailbox, Keep your Ears Open for the Phone Calls and Congrats on Graduation!!!

DCM-Mom, Hi I am a new Navy Mom... My daughter left on March 1st and she is scheduled to graduate on April 30th. It has been a challenge for us (parents), but I believe it was a great move for her. This is an endeavor that she chose and we discussed it and support 100%. I think this is a great Idea about the screen shot of the FB Page... I think I will do that in her next letter..Thanks.
