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 Stacey on December 24, 2019 at 9:58am: Hello from Hutto! My son is in week 5 of BC. PIR 1-17-20 Hutto is in central Texas and is home of the great Hippo Nation.

Comment by Ty on November 10, 2019 at 4:13pm: Hello from Houston, my son leaves for BC 11/25 and has no idea how cold it will be, it’s no comparison to our on and off winter days.

Comment by hankmom711 on November 6, 2019 at 3:45pm: Hello Texas moms!

My kiddo, a former student of Texas A&M, leaves Dec. 9 for the Great Lakes. My dad was in the Navy during the Korean War, but all of this is 100 percent new to us, so I'm trying to play catchup on all the information. We live in Houston, near the Med Center.

Comment by jessi914 on November 4, 2019 at 5:31pm: New Navy Mom from Alvin, Texas (Southwest of Houston)....

Comment by prayermom on September 25, 2019 at 4:56pm: Yes, Chicago winters are rough on Texas boys!! He will learn to love the weather in San Diego:)

Comment by Greek Mom on September 24, 2019 at 11:19am: Yes! LOL..Texas boys are use to heat and the sun, not being knee deep in snow! San Diego sounds so nice! I bet he is very happy to get that assignment!

Comment by Rhonda on September 24, 2019 at 9:58am: Thanks Greek Mom. He just got his orders and his headed to San Diego in December. Good thing because winter in Chicago is really cold for a South Texas boy.

Comment by Greek Mom on September 24, 2019 at 9:49am: Hello Rhonda....Congrats to your son! My son enlisted two years ago and is now stationed at Kings Bay Georgia. I am from San Antonio and graduated from Judson many moons ago! LOL! I got married and moved to New Braunfels, where I still reside.
