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 Bettyk47 on September 22, 2011 at 10:02pm: My son and I just left the meet and greet. We had a wonderful time. Meeting the families from my son's Division was just great! It was a pleasure to talk to all of you.

Comment by lemonelephant on September 22, 2011 at 9:48pm: I hope you all had a great time!

Comment by blueyez on September 22, 2011 at 11:31am: I will be attending with 3 other family members ....looking forward to meeting everyone....318 !!!

Comment by salpetty on September 22, 2011 at 10:47am: Desiree...don't worry about the colors. It's just a guideline so we can find each other by division. I'm actually thinking about not wearing the specified color because I look crappy in red :)

Momof3....text me if you get and you are hanging out...I can't promise anything but I'd love to!! See you.

Comment by Momof3 (B's Mom) on September 22, 2011 at 2:50am: If anyone is going to hang out after m&g message me! My flight gets in at 9:30 :)

Comment by Momof3 (B's Mom) on September 22, 2011 at 2:49am: I tried to convince them we could have up to or more than 150 people attend! Woohoo! They assured me the bar area would be fine. I hope everything works out. I wish I could be there! Sounds like it's going to be really awesome. The people at hotel explained to me what they do and how it works. You guys are going to have fun!!

Comment by lemonelephant on September 22, 2011 at 12:57am: To this point, 33 have RSVPed that at least 107 will attend and 10 others have indicated that at least 29 Might attend. Boy, I hope Ramada moves the Meet and Greet to a meeting room rather than the Bar, but I won't be there and I'm sure those who attend will have a great time regardless.
