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."

It's not a good idea to post a pic of your Sailor every time you post. See change 4 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). Also make change 3 while you are there. There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Hi Sandy, I just wanted to let you know that my sons recovery was very speedy and he will do his BS this week and off to A school.  I am so happy for him, he only spent 3 weeks in RCU.  Thanks for your support and prayers, they have all worked for him

Hi Sandy,

We live in Woodland Park. Closer to Peyton than Denver! I would love to get a group of local moms together to do a packing party or at least meet for coffee sometime. We'll just have to set a date sometime soon.

Thanks..again...sandy..for the 2nd comment...but NO,

I dont know how to find my PIR group as you said. 

I do know that my son was the ONLY "WV" sailor-to-be that left from the whole state the week of June 13th...and that his PIR date SHOULD BE 8/12.

So...I kinda am not following too well, am I? (ha, ha)

No reply necessary,
Best wishes...Dane's mommy

Oh, well, God knows what's going on...and I know HIS arms are around him...
