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."

A little about me:
About me? Thought I went to a site for naval mom's and they said i had to join delphiforums for 50 some dollars. I am a disabled, sad but proud mother of my son and best friend who is in boot camp now and should graduate april 23.
I am here to support my
Son/Daughter

In the NROTC program
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Was concerned or afraid
The Navy offers opportunities that...
This is what my son truely wanted to do with his life. He has been the best son a mom could ever dream of. His recruiters were very kind but not too organized, but we understand they had so many kids to handle. On St. Patty's day, my angel, we finally recieved a very long letter and then he called later. What a beautiful day and I thank the lord he is doing great. We are all are so proud, the letter should he could only have 4 people come to his graduation. He put mom, dad, his sister and girlfriend, but what about his youngest brother, only grandparent at85 and his God parents? We understand their are so many graduating but how to pick which ones to go was so hard for him.
Our Navy experience so far...
The lessons learned in the Navy could have been learned anywhere.
