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."

An Update

Last year, I was happy to announce that my Sailor had rejoined the fleet as a Reservist.  Since then, he has gotten a job he loves with our state’s 2-year college system.  He places formerly incarcerated men & women in jobs following their training. And he earned an Ed.S.  So what’s the problem, right?  No problem, except that his superiors came to him with the proposal that he resubmit his officer packet. Again, what’s the problem?  Nothing, except that he’d have to go active.  Now, as we…See More

The high school recruiter I worked with was extremely well-liked at our school. The seniors I knew who came back to visit once in the Navy were very happy. The Navy keeps you informed and looks after their own.

I wish I knew what was going through his head.  He wants to be a screen writer but he is so gifted in Math and Science......He could be anything he wanted to be.  I still have hope.  He just moved back home with some serious rules....if he breaks them he's gone even though it will be the hardest thing for me to do and break my heart.

I sent a message to your inbox for a little 'privacy'  My son is Benjamin he will be going to A school there in GL for ACEF.  I'm sad that I have had no letters or calls-I guess if he is still Division Yeoman, he may not even have time to do any of that.
