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 Mamma D on August 8, 2014 at 9:09pm: I'm trying to help out a fellow Nuke Mom. Does anyone have info on GC finally having graduations for prototype starting on 8/15 on the Yorktown

Comment by Mamma D on August 4, 2014 at 3:22pm: I'm not sure about a contact. But my son just went exploring into Charleston and the beach area. He eventually found things to do . Also tell him to check online for upcoming events I know my son went to several concerts

Comment by DonnaEricsMom on August 4, 2014 at 12:34pm: Does anyone know who my son can contact about what to do on Liberty days? He knows there's there the movies and bowling, but what else is there to do? Is there someone he can contact that might help him? Are there upcoming events in Charleston or on base? I hope this question makes since.

Comment by DonnaEricsMom on August 4, 2014 at 10:53am: CB'sMom - Hello and thank you for the offer. I think so far we are doing okay. : ) I'm going to start sending him care packages this week. He said he was supposed to start Indoc today and then we think school starts next week. I wish I lived close enough to visit, but since I don't I thought care packages would be the next best thing. Enjoy you visit.

Your son's found mine and made him feel so welcome and wanted, even though he was a month late getting there. You are wonderful people and angels to my son and I. : ) Thank you.
