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."

Hi Doreen. My son is on ship 07 and division 272. I just sent a letter to him today. I recieved his form letter with his little note on it. I miss him so much. I am going to redecorate his bedroom so when he gets his first leave he will be surprised. Navy for moms is excellent for having a idea how things are going.
