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 abcent on May 14, 2014 at 2:11pm: Just returned home from great lakes graduation, and it was wonderful. Sarges meet and greet was full of information and answered lots of questions. Now my son is doing his A school there and we couldn't be prouder.

Comment by 1awsumway on March 21, 2014 at 8:34am: Our son is on ship 13, division 164.

Comment by 1awsumway on March 21, 2014 at 8:33am: Hello Everyone,
Our son left on March 5th, 2014 and arrived at BC 3-7-14. I send letters daily since we received his form letter on Monday, 3-17-14. No letters back from him yet. I miss him so much, even more than I ever knew......It helps me to read that other moms are going through this too. It's a new chapter for our sons and us. Maybe it's the old cliche... No pain, no gain, lol. I've cried a river for sure and really hope tears are the river of life. Ok, enough of philosophy. I really miss him!

Comment by Defoe'sMom (Ship 13, Div 164) on March 16, 2014 at 8:33pm: Andysmom-I have not received his box yet. I read that Fedex does not deliver on Saturday's unless it is around Christmas. I hope it comes tomorrow!
