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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 2, 2014 at 2:02pm: Wow, Happy Birthday to him! What better place to celebrate than in the Navy with 25,000 other active duty corpsmen :) I know what you mean, my corpsman's is next month (he'll celebrate in Italy, poor guy) and was best day of my life, too. (Libra's Mom, I'm catching up too - great place to be posted! Just sent you a friend request, happy to answer any questions you have.)

The best people are born on May 2nd, a lovely day. Hey that reminds me - happy birthday to ME today too! LOL

Comment by familything on May 2, 2014 at 12:03pm: Happy happy Birthday to my sailor son today! Absolutely the best day of my life! Hope he gets time to celebrate with his buddies.

Comment by LisaPNM Ship11 Div204 on April 28, 2014 at 12:37am: My son will be attending A school in San Antonio . He's currently in RTC. I know I will be plugging into this group the most. I never felt so many emotions at one time, joy, fear, pride. Still waiting for my first phone call from him. We have a long road ahead. May God watch over our nation and our men & women who selflessly serve.

Comment by GrannyRachel29Palms on April 24, 2014 at 12:19pm: My FMF Corpsman is currently studying Standard Arabic. He will complete the course next week and return to 29 Palms. He expects a deployment eastward in a sandy location this coming autumn. Hopefully he will have home leave prior to this adventure. i have asked him to teach me the swear words for entertainment. :)

Comment by Libra's mom on April 20, 2014 at 4:26pm: My son will graduate C school soon and will be assign to Naples, Italy. Is there a group for parents whose child is stationed in Naples, Italy? I feel like i have the same feeling as when he left for the bootcamp...
