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."

Hi, I'm also still trying to fiqure some of this out myself. Try add pictures, you hit add pictures and it comes up were you want to upload them from your computor. After you up-load them, they will get approved first by the site, just like when you signed up. I been really busy this week getting Kurtis' party to together. I get so wore out I get mad and then I cry, it's been hard. Kurtis makes me mad and I think, boy I can't wait till he goes and then I cry because I don't want him to go. When I read your comment , it about made me cry. Amy, I have friends, thay try to help me, but they really don't understand what we are going through. It's not like our kids are going off to college. We are not able to see or talk to our kids when we want. They might be home for a holiday. They are military and no longer civilians. I will always be here for you and I think of you as a friend. Anytime you want to get together you just let me know. Your schedule is a lot busier than mine.I looking forward to seeing you on Sunday. I'm going to try very hard to keep it together. I will have to double up on my meds. I'll talk to you later. Smile!
