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 Pat L. in IL on June 4, 2012 at 11:11pm: VFW Update, Due to legal, insurance, and health dept. regulations, all work right now has to be done by a licensed restoration company. If the VFW needs help with the "finishing touches", they will contact us to help!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on June 1, 2012 at 10:08pm: Hi Everyone, I have the addresses for 2 of the injured from the VFW fire. If you would like to send a card, please PM me for the info. Thanks!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on May 30, 2012 at 12:00am: Just got back from the VFW. Six in hospital, they were injured when a fireball from the explosion in the basement came up the stairway. At this point, injuries are not life-threatening. Talked to Dennis' wife, Martha, and told her to tell Dennis that when it was time to wash, clean, or paint, Molly moms would be there for them.

I know, I shouldn't volunteer you guys without your permission but these people are so wonderful, we need to help them. Just Praise God, that it wasn't worse.
