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."

At GL - A school:

Phase 1: They have to shadow all the watches, then they are allowed liberty off base in uniform with a group - but have a nightly curfew.

Phase 2: They have to then do a certain amount of watches and pass an oral board to be able to wear civilian clothes and go off base - weekends they can be gone overnight. - with a liberty buddy

They have a 300 mile radius that they can go when they are on liberty.

Beware that if they get "field day" - which is NOT a good thing things change and they can lose liberty.

My daughter has been at GLA since September and is leaving tomorrow for her first duty station. We had a lot of sailors at our home off and on during those 3 1/2 months.

Hey Denise

Hope you're doing ok.  Cold and wet here.  The snow isn't sticking but it has snowed all day.  Strange!  I saw Jamie's pix on the website. (he's the one with the Navy issued glasses, right?)  If you're on FB send me a friend request.  Sandy Johnson Knight- profile pic is William and Bailey (his sister)! Happy Holidays!

Sandy
