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 Bobbie (Chris' mom)-MAA mom on August 7, 2010 at 12:07pm: SailorMom and Anita--can't wait to meet you since we have family in the same ship and division!!!

Comment by Anita(Cory/GL EM) on August 7, 2010 at 11:48am: We are flying in that day also, but we will be there! Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Comment by SailorMom on August 7, 2010 at 9:52am: We are flying in that day.... Hope to make it! Will know more soon of our flight times. Can't wait to meet everyone.

Comment by Martina on August 7, 2010 at 12:59am: My husband and I are flying in on Monday and staying at The Red Carpet Inn. I think they have a shuttle, if not we can probably get a taxi. I am so unfamiliar with that area. We wouldn't miss it. We figured as long as we are flying all the way to the Chicago area we might as well be there for a few extra days to see the city!

Comment by carituggle (Ship 06, Div 944) on August 6, 2010 at 8:34pm: We will be there we fly in that day but we will make it, not sure were we are staying yet.

Comment by Cathi on August 6, 2010 at 8:11pm: No it isnt...its a rumor that continuously goes around. This is the only one.

Comment by ReneeR on August 5, 2010 at 11:52am: I also read that the Navy base is also having a Meet and Greet is this correct?
