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."

Kathy, Do you know about how much longer it will be before we hear anything from our sailors? Or how long is the normal for not receiving emails? I am just anxious to hear from mine.

My son is on the Gold Crew. They are out right now and he has been on the Alaska for a year now. He says it is ok. He has also going under way with the Blue Crew once. He is a ET3 on the Radio. I live just 3 hours from him so I get to see him often.

Welcome Kathy to the Alaska Group!! Is your son on the Blue or Gold Crew? My son is on the Blue Crew and really loves this boat. I hope your son's move is a pleasant one.
