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 Liberty on April 28, 2014 at 3:38am: Okay- So he made it through the first week of Dive Prep. They started with 41 and by Friday there were just 20 left. Here is my question...Is the worst of Dive Prep behind him or is harder stuff coming up? I am unable to get much info from him and would love to know what is coming up. Thanks!

Comment by Liberty on April 17, 2014 at 6:06pm: Thanks Karenlee! That is good news!

Comment by Karenlee on April 17, 2014 at 6:14am: Liberty, the Navy should issue what your son needs for dive prep.

Comment by JennaN92 on April 13, 2014 at 5:51pm: I totally agree with you! I'm going Thursday to see my husband in great lakes :)

Comment by Annabel Lee on April 13, 2014 at 7:42am: JennaN92, we will adapt... I too am SO proud of my son! Some days are just harder than others.

Comment by JennaN92 on April 12, 2014 at 10:42pm: Annabel Lee - I know what you mean! My husband is in Aschool and it's been such a change in life it's kind of shocking not being able to be involved like we were before. But I'm very proud of him, it's just different :)

Comment by Annabel Lee on April 12, 2014 at 10:04pm: I miss him SO much.. It's great that we can text and talk, but this is going to take some getting used to! I miss talking face to face. And I miss his hugs. :(

Comment by Annabel Lee on April 12, 2014 at 9:59pm: D-Hunter, my son said that dive prep starts the 21st.

Comment by D-hunter on April 12, 2014 at 8:00pm: Okay - guess I'm behind :)
Annabel Lee - my kiddo didn't go last week with the group ... He had duty that day :(
