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."

I am unsure if I can talk about a closed FB group of which I am an Administrator for...Navy Support for Parents and Families. Medium sized group but NO DRAMA! Lots of warm, nurturing support.

MandarinMom...yes!! I would love to know how you coped with what I am about to experience with zero info until afterwards...

Gosh...we have to be so secretive about locations! Rebecca, I am from MD originally, so I don't know if that is where she'll be.
Comment by NavyDaughter/Mom on February 5, 2016 at 4:28pm

Babs - congratulations to your sailor!!  Mine son also studied Mandarin, he's been at his duty station for about 1 1/2 years now.  Your son is probably at the same place as my son...I think they pretty much go to the same spot.  My son is working on renting his first (EVER) apartment!  I'm super excited for him.  Hoping to go visit this summer...wish I was there now to help me buy stuff for his new place....

Congratulations Babs and to your CTI!!!   Did you get to attend the graduation ceremony?   How was it if yes???   

Comment by Babs on February 5, 2016 at 4:18pm
Rebecca...how about a priority mail box with some Dollar Store Rose petals? I also have a Marine and that's what I did for he and his roommate's Valentines. Used beautiful red and pink duct tape too...serves those Marine right!!! LOL
