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."

Click on OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and the Page will open in a new window. Read the Page and follow the directions at the bottom to make change 3 (see the words in bold) so that this page is no longer visible to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web. Don’t forget to click the “Save” button at the bottom.

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you or your Sailor.

Hi Spyder,

I just sent you an e-mail.

Lemoneleohant told me to change the my privacy settings and maybe I went a little overboard. One of the choices was having approval on comments left on my page. I should probably change that.

Hi Spyder,

How do I find the AZ group? Most people around look at me blankly when I say my daughter joined the Navy, as this is Air Force territory! However, I grew up in San Diego which is a huge Navy town and back then they still had NTC.

spyder013,

I see you recently joined the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you!!! We are a friendly caring group of moms and are always willing to listen, share and help each other whenever or wherever we can. Please feel free to join our chats, we love talking about everything from work, family, weather - whatever. Plus the joyful and anxiety filled journey of being a Navy Mom!!! I see you also belong to the WA/OR group.  I belong to that group because my daughter is out there.  There is another mom, Sarah's Mom, on that group that has a  daughter on the USS Shoup.  Maybe your daughters know each other!!  Looking forward to learning about you and your sailor!!!  Again, Welcome Aboard!!
