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 daysia on September 13, 2014 at 2:58am: Thanks, publichealthgal

Comment by debmil24 on August 30, 2014 at 7:56am: My son turns 21 today. Him in San Diego and me in Fla. First birthday with out him. He's in phase two so hope there's not to much partying going on. How is everyone's sailors doing in STG school?

Comment by Publichealthgal on August 22, 2014 at 10:55pm: Hello debmil and daysia, so far my son is loving the base he is on and is really looking forward to STG school. He's going to be on hold for about another week and will start school soon. Bootcamp goes by really fast. Doesn't seem like at the time but before you know it, you'll be experiencing PIR.

Comment by spyder013 on August 21, 2014 at 9:07am: It's for family members, not spouses our boyfriends or girlfriends. You get to be on the ship with them from one port to another when they are finishing their deployment. It is a wonderful experience for all Of us to tryout navy life~and see what they do on a daily basis. Just be aware there are lots of ladders to climb and racks are small.....and tricky for me to get into...ask for bottom one...it works best cuz you can just sort of flop in;)

Comment by daysia on August 21, 2014 at 3:45am: What is the tiger cruise?

Comment by spyder013 on August 20, 2014 at 3:38pm: Trust me, it is!

Comment by jillymom on August 20, 2014 at 3:19pm: Wow-Tiger Cruise sounds unbelievable.

Comment by spyder013 on August 20, 2014 at 8:50am: Tiger cruise is getting to be on ship with sailor on one leg off journey home after deployment. Mine was with mmHg daughter from San Diego to Washington....4 nights. It was an amazing experience.....using the ladders and sleeping in their racks...can't imagine it on a deployment...lol! I would do it again if given another opportunity;).
