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."

My son's name is Jacob Lusk. He's an EM. I haven't heard from him yet to know if he made it ok. I do know he was excited about getting to look around the area. Have your sailor look for him today.

You can call your recruiter. We called ours on Friday, the day after Cody left. He was able to look it up and give us the ship, division and address. There is a blackout on mail at first, so he won't receive any mail (until they are out of processing and on their "ship'). But you can send it. :)

Welcome, RoseLilly.

My son left for BC July 12  as well. Do you know your son's ship and division yet? That's important for the address, but it also helps you find other Moms from the same ship. We can take this journey together. N4Ms has been a great source of information and support. Glad you are here!
