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."

What area of GA do you live in?

We would like to think about a get together with all of the great moms in Georgia and will be looking at locations and dates. Would you list your name and city so we can start tracking where all the moms live and can make some plans from there. Thanks!

Hi Lola, I see your son is from Douglas Co and just recently left for GL. Our son has been in since last August. He is also from Douglas Co. Wondering if they were from the same high school. He graduated from Douglas County High. What was your son's alma mater?

Those of you from Douglas County, did your Sailors go the Arbor Place Mall Recruitment office? If so, they may have known my SR was in DEP from Aug of 2011 until June of this year.
