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."

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this. This is day one for me and I am alone and quite emotional. I didn't think it would be this tough but I am literally sick I've been overcome with so much emtion. I held it together long enough for him to walk away but now I'm left alone with all kinds of thoughts running through my mind. I haven't been alone in 20 yrs.

Thanks Erin!  Husband and I are flying in the morning for our son's PIR.  He's off to nuke school in SC afterward. I only logged on here for the first time today.  Lots of helpful info.    I'm sure I'll be back with questions as time goes by. We are lucky to have a friend whose son finished the same path last month. God bless!  Gina Coon

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this.  I just came across this page yesterday.  My husband is active duty and has been for 21 years and now my son is following his Dad's footsteps.  Couldn't be more proud of my boys.

Thank you again.

Hi thanks for the info.  I think I took care of everything.  This is a great thing. I only found out about it on Saturday when my son called. I have been following the facebook page. It's all very new to me and I hope I don't mess up. Thanks again!

I am loving this site, so glad I learned about it. It's  only been 6 days since my son left for boot camp but it seems so much longer for me, I look Howard to his next phone call in a few weeks and my husband and I cannot wait till March for his graduation,  we are so excited to be going. My husband is a Navy vet, he in for the first gulf war and couldn't be more proud to see out youngest following his his shoes. 

Thank you for this site and for the support!
