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 6Idahoans on September 22, 2011 at 9:30pm: Hope we can attend. 4 of us in our group. We are staying at the Days Inn.. not sure how far that is, or what transportation is like, though? Wow, hard to believe the recruits are half-way there!!!

Comment by beckmcs on September 20, 2011 at 10:19am: If the airline powers that be get us into OHare on time, we will make it in for the very end of the meet and greet. So hoping to get to meet everyone! We are staying at the Residence Inn, anyone else there too?

Comment by shachrmic on September 18, 2011 at 1:28pm: Hope to be there...traveling with daughter/son-in-law/grandkids...depends on our departure time from Pittsburgh.

Comment by Adam's Mom. on September 17, 2011 at 8:13am: We are staying Ramada too. Pool will entertain my 8 year old. I hope. Let me know if you think the p,ace is a dump.

Comment by Alicia on September 17, 2011 at 8:12am: Where is everyone staying? I booked at the Ramada thinking I can always change the reservation. I read good and bad reviews, but like that they have an indoor pool to entertain my 4-year-old if needed.
