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 Ladyrocker on July 26, 2014 at 8:25pm: Linda my sons PIR was 6/13. He was a push division I believe because I thought by my calculations he would have his PIR on 6/20. He is in Groton now about to start week 5 of BESS. Maybe our Sailors know each other? I had posted names asking but was told to delete for OPSEC reasons so I deleted the post. My SA is schooling for FT (Fire Control Tech). Kinda of an emotional day today ....although working for 9 hours kept my mind off the fact that his dad and my daughter drove up there today to see him. So wish I was able to be there too. She only posted 3 pictures so far......I want more damn it....lol...and she is not answering my text messages. I guess they are out having dinner catching up .....told her to give him tons of hugs and kisses from me!

LOL about the turpeodo man......I heard they refer to my Sailors' jobs as "Bubble Heads".

So Navy Sista's we are!

Blessing to you and yours and all our Sailors and Navy family!

Off to the next part of their NAVY journey.May God guide and bless them with safe travel always. Fair Weather and Following Seas. HOOYAH !! and ALL that good stuff!!

Comment by Kevsmom93 on July 24, 2014 at 3:50pm: Linda- I've heard your son's job is pretty bad---!! Yes, it's strange how when they're in BC time seems to almost stand still. And once they get to Groton for their training it's so much better. They're excited to be there and share all their news. But I have to admit as the months went by our son became more and more silent. Must be a part of the job and everything they're learning. At least that's how it was (is) with our son. Now that he's in Hawaii I swear I know absolutely nothing! LOL!! Except he does send some pretty awesome and gorgeous island photos on occasion at least that's something!
