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 MarinaMamma on August 15, 2011 at 3:46pm: Son is ship 03 div. 320... our flight will not be in time for us to attend. Have fun, see all of you 9-23-11. I'll be the one wearing the BIG smile on her face!

Comment by lemonelephant on August 14, 2011 at 4:12pm: The Ramada Inn puts it on as a service to the families each week, so be sure to thank the management when you go.

Comment by Tonya K(Ship 03 Div 319) on August 14, 2011 at 8:44am: We will have 3 attending the meet and greet.

Comment by lemonelephant on August 13, 2011 at 11:43am: I'm glad that works for you. I think you will have a great time. Now to find more people with loved ones in this TG and get them in on it--here and in the group. We actually only have 39 members with a loved one still in the TG and there are lots out there.

Comment by RED (Ship 11 Div 317) on August 13, 2011 at 7:52am: mother and daughter wearing white, father and son wearing light gray. that way we all can get in on it.

Comment by Deborah (CTT son) on August 11, 2011 at 2:32pm: We will have 3 attending. Looking forward to it.

Comment by lemonelephant on August 11, 2011 at 11:42am: dk4ever, I hope you really don't mind the color choices I gave each Division. I checked the clothes at my house and found that, with the choices given above, if I had been going for any of the Divisions, I would not have to buy something for my daughter or me. I hope that other families have something for each member of their party in either of the colors I chose. I just had to go with it and decide because everyone couldn't have red. Everyone in your party does not need to wear one of the 2 colors, but it would be great if they got in on the fun too since they have a loved one in the Division as well.
