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 hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season. Enjoy lunch!

Comment by Theresa on December 12, 2012 at 6:24pm: and I'm REALLY looking forward to Saturday night meeting all of you!! :) Yeay!!

Comment by Theresa on December 12, 2012 at 6:24pm: Thanks Pat. I'm just struggling with the little to no contact while she's in Japan or deployed! We used to fight light crazy when she lived at home....but I LOVE the heck out of her and miss her SO much!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on December 12, 2012 at 6:09pm: Theresa, I understand why you are sad. But I think part of the reason for their choices for their "Dream List" is that see the world thing! Don't worry, it will be okay, and don't forget your Navy sisters have your back!!

Comment by Theresa on December 12, 2012 at 5:54pm: I haven't quite figured this site out. Maybe didn't post that in the right place? :( Sorry.

Comment by Theresa on December 12, 2012 at 5:54pm: I'm very upset and sad today. My daughter who is at a school in pensacola said she just made her "dream" list? Her choices to be stationed were 1. Japan, 2. SanDiego (MOM'S 1st choice) and 3. JAPAN AGAIN! What the heck! I don't understand WHY she WANTS to be stationed SO FAR away. Knowing her, she'll get it too! That will be SOO hard for me!
