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 Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on April 19, 2011 at 12:29pm: Boy! I hope we can make it on time. LOL!. We have a 10+ hour drive on 5/5, but plan to leave early enough to arrive for this Meet & Greet. I checked with the Ramada, they do provide name tags so if you want, you can write your screen name along with your real name so we know who's who :) For guests staying at the Ramada, 2 drink tickets good for beer/wine or soda are provided. For everyone attending, there will be hot hor d'oeuvres and the opportunity to mingle with everyone. I am sooooo looking forward to this!!!!

Comment by M63052 on April 17, 2011 at 6:12pm: We will be there! So excited to be doing this soon : )

Comment by velvetlace on April 16, 2011 at 10:07pm: I am looking forward to meeting you, soonergirl. My SR is like your SR in that he is my only child, but he is following his dream. We are finally seeing the light at the end of this very long tunnel of 8 weeks. Yeah!!!1

Comment by soonergirl99 12/159~5/6/11~Big E on April 16, 2011 at 10:04pm: My husband and I will be there. We are flying in to Chicago Midway Wednesday evening so we have all day Thursday to see Chicago. We have to fly back to DFW Friday evening. I will take B to lunch and spend several hours with him before handing him off to his dad and stepmom. B's dad/stepmom are driving in from OKC and will be able to spend time with B Saturday and Sunday if something happens and he doesn't fly out to Pensacola Saturday as planned (grad and go).

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and doing some additional N4Ms bonding!
