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 encourager on April 20, 2015 at 4:03pm: Hi Momack! My Sailor left about 14 months ago and what a success story he is. These ladies really helped me when I was going absolutely berserk with no letter about three weeks later. I sat on my stoop, tried to call the Post Office and was crying. I was comforted by these really great Navy MOMs. Don't lose heart, the letter will come. Just keep posting.

Comment by Momack on April 18, 2015 at 10:13am: Thank you ChristineLI,NY and spomss. This week us rough. Can't wait for my letter and address. I know he is doing what he always wanted to do. I'm sure the change in him will be incredible. PIR can't come soon enough!! So happy to have fellow Navy Moms to reach out to.

Comment by ChristineLI,NY on April 18, 2015 at 8:44am: Welcome Momack. My sailor left for BC exactly 1 year ago. It definitely gets easier and less worrisome. The change in him is remarkable and he's never had even one complaint. Just be thankful and proud. We're planning a trip out west where he's stationed for this summer. PIR will be here before you know it!

Comment by spomss on April 17, 2015 at 11:01am: and Momack-have met some of the most wonderfully awesome mommas who all understand what you are going thru...

Comment by spomss on April 16, 2015 at 7:43pm: yup it is-but you will grow stronger every day with pride-take each day and face it as he does-learning new things and before you know it you will get the best hug ever!!!

Comment by Momack on April 16, 2015 at 7:00pm: Thank you spomss. This is hard. I have to get better at this ! Tough week !!! But so proud! Congrats to your Sailor!!! Fantastic!

Comment by spomss on April 16, 2015 at 3:31pm: hi Momack!! glad you found this NY group-I am up in Syracuse and my Sailor just celebrated his 2nd year since PIR...

Comment by Momack on April 15, 2015 at 1:13pm: Hello NY Moms - my son left for BC in GL yesterday 4/14/15. Still coming to grips with my emotions. He will be doing MM A school in HL and then to sub school (at least that is what we know so far). I'm in the 5 boroughs area. God Bless our recruits and sailors .
