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."

Hi.  I was part of the 3/11/11 PIR group.  We stayed at the Ramada and brought my son's laptop, because they advertise Internet Service.  THEY DO NOT HAVE INTERNET SERVICE, YOU MUST HAVE WI-FI CONNECTIONS.  I was very disappointed.  Their breakfast is OK. But their rooms smell like a un-clean cat litter box. Parking is bad, and their electronic door keys do not work well from the outside.  I spoke to Ramada, they have not responded. Check around.
