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 navymom2015 on August 2, 2016 at 1:18pm: Is there anyone that has a sailor on whyoming gold

Comment by Shea on August 1, 2016 at 10:56pm: navymom2015 is your son on a fast attack or a boomer? If it's a fast attack hopefully he will call or email when they reach a port and you can talk to him then. I know this doesn't bring bring much comfort but sometimes they are just so busy that making sure parents are on those list isn't a priority and time gets away from them. Hang in there!!

Comment by navymom2015 on August 1, 2016 at 9:11pm: This delpoyment is really getting to me and it just started i tried to see if my son put me on list for the ombudsman and i got email that said i was not on the list for calls or emails that just broke my heart no way of knowing my son is ok iam sure he is but the point being is i still want to know how everything is going the same if he was home feeling sad and confused right now

Comment by WearsLargeHats on July 30, 2016 at 9:47pm: Our son called after getting back from his first underway on the Bremerton. I asked how the trip went, and he answered "it had its ups and downs".

An hour and a half later I suddenly realized ... oooh!

Comment by Gardenia100 on July 29, 2016 at 10:46am: Thank you fayegirl4!
I haven't heard from my son yet, I don't know if he lost his phone again.
I'm tempted to call the office but they won't tell you anything anyway.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 28, 2016 at 10:53pm: Oh also happy birthday to your sailor.
