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."

AND I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Susan's Idea of discussions featuring the different schools to address our needs and questions while allowing us all to stay in contact. Do you need a chat board here too? i can help set it up... :-)

Comment by NC_Susan on December 11, 2010 at 10:47am: Salma - That's so true! We have a awesome group :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 10, 2010 at 12:33pm: That is funny about the cryptology and IT groups. lol

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 10, 2010 at 12:32pm: Woohoo! We are getting bigger and better. I'm so glad to see you tysmom, Stacey, Salma, Donna & Wendi.

Comment by NC_Susan on December 10, 2010 at 12:20pm: Wendi - I am cracking up! The IT group isn't either. Its all very Top Secret and hush hush, lol. No one there knows what their kid does, so it's hard to have discussions. I am looking forward to this group!! Susan

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 10, 2010 at 10:14am: Hi, I finally caught on to the new group. I was wondering what would happen after PIR. I am glad to still have this group. The cryptology group isn't very fun

Comment by MarylandMom on December 10, 2010 at 5:22am: I was hoping something like this would happen !! Would have been werid to not have somewhere to check into each day after all these weeks !! Thanks so much Betsy !!
