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 wisconsinmom on February 13, 2018 at 7:41pm: You're fine getting on the mailing list. Just don't ask them to have him contact you because you're worried. Lol I had to learn that he would do it in his own time and I wasn't high up on the list. When you get on the mailing list, I think they have to have your son verify you before you start getting the mailings. Sometimes it's info about get togethers more for families in the home port area,I thought it was still fun to know what's going on. When there is a homecoming you'll want to know everything. This group used to be more active. Since facebook started more people seem to be on there. I know that there are PIR groups and some others on facebook but I'm not sure what they're called.

Comment by Phoenixmom on February 13, 2018 at 7:25pm: Thank You for the info, I did contact them but asked how to be put on the list to receive the newsletter. I wish I would of known. Don't want him to be upset. Thank You. So does this site get active or not really? Thanks for replying.

Comment by wisconsinmom on February 13, 2018 at 7:21pm: It's been a while, 2010, since my sailor flew out to the Eisenhower. I remember it seemed to take a long time to get his email set up so that he could contact me. There is a lot to learn about ship procedure and safety that will keep him busy. Dont do what I did. I called the ombudsman, his squadron contact in the states, and they contacted the ship. The message went up the chain until someone pretty high up told him to email his mom ,she was worried. He was not happy at the time but we laugh about it now. Be patent, he will contact you when he can.
