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 Winksmom527 on April 3, 2018 at 7:11am: My son left 3\28 as well and I think I've cried everyday since. A movie will come on that we would watch and tears come down. I really didn't think it would be this hard. Can't wait for that first phone call.

Comment by Angella on April 3, 2018 at 7:27am: I know the feeling. Feeling fine, then crying, then fine, then crying. Communication should help, can't wait.

Comment by Anissa on April 3, 2018 at 9:15am: I totally understand. I have written a letter or card every day waiting to mail when I get her address.

Comment by bkm4 on April 3, 2018 at 1:20pm: My daughter got the call the Friday before. We spent her birthday having fun before dropping her off at her hotel. She left on 3/28.

Comment by maristar2 on April 3, 2018 at 4:28pm: Winksmom527,

I think we all felt that way but it will get better as soon as the letters and calls start coming in. As soon as you get his address start writing to him i wrote to my son just about everyday! They love receiving letters & drawings!
