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 Kaye. I was looking at your useful pages in this group and discovered the link wasn't working to the pdf explaining how to email your sailor deployed on a fast attack sub. Any chance you can repost it? Many thanks!! -mama4dog (mom of MMN based in sandiego)

Long time, no chat. How are things going with you? We had our Bubblehead for 72 hours. He was here to photograph a friend's wedding. It was so nice to have dinner with he and his wife. Just chatting about nothing. Miss that the most.

Kaye,
Andrew graduated on 14 march MM...his group lined up to the far left of the diaz...he lived up on Bridgetown Rd...was in a car accident with his Nissan at the mall south of base, bought a used green Mustang. Was into rifles and spent a lot of his down time at the shooting range north of base. Andrew is a history buff, but his roommate called him a brain because he could do the ET and EM work as well as the MM. To answer your question he was assigned to the USS Oklahoma City out of Norfolk, but he was temp assigned to a second sub in dry dock in NH, while his was out to sea (the Navy took some officers that needed their sea legs b4 Andrew and two others that were assigned out of GC)...and now the Oklahoma is in dry dock...so Andrew will spend his first two years in the Navy on shore duty.
