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."

Make at least change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). I suggest "Just My Friends" given your son's current training.

Given your loved one's current training, I also suggest change 4. It is best not to include ANYONE closely associated with him in your profile pic.

Consider removing pics of your loved one from your My Page given his current training. See change 5.

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you or your loved one.

I also suggest changes 6 and 7.

(Read 800 and 900 Divisions for additional information to help you decide what changes to make.)

Thanks Kathy...it's a shame more aren't active on this site...when I look on facebook, and read the comments, I just assumed there would be more activity on here...oh well.
I'm Kathy also! As you know, we had the Pope grace our lovely state recently. We are about 2 hours from Philly. Our Church had a lottery for the buses from our area. Alas, we didn't make the cut, but it was exciting watching on TV!
Are you officially a Navy Mom yet? I never thought any of my boys would join the Navy, but I am so glad they did. I kinda had them "Army Groomed", but they decided the Navy was best... I agree...So many changes to the Army, and since I know practically nothing about the Navy, when things happen, I don't get quite as upset. The 2 oldest were in the Army, and I was constantly getting upset with the New Army system.
Well...I am glad you reached out...we Catholics need to stick together in this rapidly changing country. Our Faith is what makes us real and whole as humans...
have a wonderful evening!!
Kathy
