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."

When I heard “Navy,” I...
Was concerned or afraid
The Navy offers opportunities that...
My son Daniel has only been in since October 2012. And he is in the Meditranian Sea on th USS NIMITZ. I am very proud of my son and the sailors. At this time I am very concerned.
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
Just in the last month I have learned and experienced what a strong family bond there is between the Navy moms and the sailors. This site has given me a huge comfort. God is in control and I have to remember that daily.

Code%20for%20N4M%20My%20Page.docx gives the directions for adding lace and swirls to this page. It used to be an option on the site, but there were some problems with the code (the corners didn't meet and the banner at the top was messed up). Due to those problems, it was removed as an option. When I first joined, I had just had a class in HTML code and so I was able to fix the problems with the code.
