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."

SHIP 07/DIV 172

Comment by GreatLakesBB on May 3, 2011 at 12:08pm: Attention!!! Attention!!!

Anyone visiting Great Lakes tryout this new bus services, "Navy Tour Chicago". Every Friday & Saturday it makes round-trips from Great Lakes to Chicago. We can now explore Chicago after graduation and enjoy the city’s attractions without the hassle!

From site...

"Navy Tour Chicago is the most cost-efficient method for Great Lakes visitors to explore Chicago. Why drive, deal with finding your way through Chicago, and spend $20 just to park? Dont spend $60 on a one-way taxi, or become prisoner to the tracks of the train. Our 1-day pass provides passengers with transportation to Chicago from one side of the city to the other. " (www.navytourchicago.com)

Check it out! :)

Comment by Jmess_123 on May 1, 2011 at 11:11pm: Does anyone know when our div will go through battlestations especially for ship 7 div 172?? plz..

Comment by itsmemom on April 30, 2011 at 10:15pm: I really want to be there, we are staying at the Ramada Inn. We will be driving in - appox. 5-6 hours. Husband has to work that day, so it will depend on if he can slide out early. But the important thing is we will be there on Friday. I can't wait!
