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."

Comment by livvy0506 on July 24, 2013 at 9:40pm: Cece,

My boyfriend just deployed on the USS Gettysburg which is headed out along with the USS Truman along with a few other ships out of Norfolk. I know exactly how you feel as I am feeling the same way. I'm sure Amylia is also feeling it. This is probably the hardest thing I have ever gone through. The love of my life is gone for 9 months and I am so lost without him. I am trying to stay busy which helps but as soon as I crawl into bed at night and when I wake up in the morning, he is all that I can think about. I go to be and wake up crying. It is getting better though. I hate that others are going through this but also feel better knowing I am not the only one. If you ever would like to talk or vent, just message me. I will be happy to help in any way that I can.
