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 MNSunshine on July 4, 2011 at 5:17pm: Good to see you Moliana! Looking forward to continued continued conversations. You're lucky to have information and experience, even if it's dated. I have none. I feel like I'm finding my way around in the dark.

To the rest of the group --

My son's a brand new NUKE. He just made his way to Goose Creek this weekend. It is so nice to hear they do come home sometime. I'm feeling like the countdown to see him has once again started at zero and it will be three times as long before I see him again.

I want to send a special thank you to all the wonderful NUKE families. You have raised some fine young men. The information and warm welcome your sons and daughters have extended is greatly appreciated by my new sailor and maybe even more appreciated by his mother who can't be there in person to support and guide him. Thank you and Happy Fourth of July!

Comment by nvmomma on July 4, 2011 at 4:34pm: Last time my son traveled he found out that he can just show his military ID at security to get in the fast track line if he's not in uniform - good to know...

Happy Independence Day, Nuke fam! :)

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on July 4, 2011 at 2:05pm: Well, our weekend with our sailor is almost over, but it's been so nice. He's getting ready to go now--wearing his NSUs (peanut butters). When I asked why he's wearing his uniform, he said it's so he can get through the security lines faster (can go through the 1st class line). Not such a bad idea, since last time he was in civvies and the lines just crawled.

A Bedtime Story

Comment by William in Nashua on July 4, 2011 at 11:47am: We just dropped off our son at Manchester airport we had a great time over the weekend now he is flying to Goose Creek. They let enter the gate area and sit with him until his flight boarded. Anyway we will see him again in five weeks, after his A school graduation. This was his first time home in six months
I hope everyone had a fun weekend.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on July 4, 2011 at 11:24am: Happy Independence Day ! Oh Yes, as mommajo said, We are blessed to be born and live in this great nation.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on July 4, 2011 at 11:09am: I hope everyone who were blessed with time to spend with their sailor enjoyed it!!

Happy 4th of July! :)

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on July 4, 2011 at 10:25am: Our sailor is on the shuttle to the airport to go back to Goose Creek. It was wonderful to have him home for the weekend.

Comment by maryquitecontrary (1131 M) on July 4, 2011 at 9:46am: WONDERFUL weekend with my sailor....he's on a plane now headed back to Goose Creek. The time went by quickly, but I am so grateful for it!! Happy 4th everyone!

Comment by mommajo on July 4, 2011 at 3:03am: Happy 4th of July to all! Thank you sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers for their commitment to our country. We are blessed to be born in the USA and I'm thankful for each and everyone of you.

God Bless
