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."

Nikosmom, when does your recruit graduate?
Comment by TamiS on January 24, 2011 at 10:01pm
What a wonderful story Dunesmom. That brought tears to my eyes too. Thanks for sharing :)
Comment by Dunesmom on January 24, 2011 at 9:27pm

wow that is so great TamiS  an entire weekend, how special was that for sure.   Oh you just wait nikosmom it will be so great!

Just a little story i learned this past weekend that i wanted to share.  When our son was home for leave at Christmas time he went to spend the day with his Grandma and Grandpa up north.  They went out to breakfast and when he went to pay the bill, wanted to treat his Grandparents, the cashier said "it's been taken care of"  There was an older couple sitting and watching my son and his grandparents almost the hole time during breakfast smiling and such.  They are pretty sure that this couple paid for their meal.  Oh and he was in  his uniform.  So touching that there are folks out there that appreciate what our loved ones are doing.  ok now i got to go get a tissue.
