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."

Hello Lorna
As proud parents of our sailors, we want to let the world know of their accomplishments as well as our immense pride in them. Sometimes we get so excited about our sons or daughters Navy life we can't wait to share the news. This is when we need to be reminded of OPSEC.
We cannot encourage you enough to make sure that you use the utmost caution, not only when making comments on Navy4moms, but also on any other social networks that you have joined.Please be diligent in your efforts to keep information about our sons/husbands,NAMES, any dates, locations and their activities closed from the general public. Please Delete the name posted above. Thank you

Hi lorna, We also heard from our son last week and were so excited to hear his voice finally. It ment so much to his younger sister that really misses him. Our son said the same things as yours so they are staying busy. I feel your pride in your son and congrats on the good job done by his parents. Hopefully another call will come soon and PIR comes fast. My son is also sh 04 div 815.
