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."

I am guessing MOST of the ppl comming to dinner are from div161??? I too would like to know who all is comming and what div. It should be quite the NFM party!! and our husbands and "other family members comming will understand FINALLY what we are all about. I am going to check out the alternate "ohio drive" route to the off base parking lot Thursday when we get to GL. I HATE LINES>>>IF the weather holds out, the walk seems faster and easier than all the Security checks at base. Good luck all!! Can't wait to meet all the NFM unknown faces!
