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 Laura on December 22, 2011 at 3:36am: Hi Ladies. My son is home for 9 1/2 wonderful days!

He finished IS "A" school, came home, got engaged, and has been in a whirlwind of activity! I count my blessings every day.

He will go back on the 26th and be on hold until heaven knows when to start his "C" school.

I am new to this group. Lets plan some fun in January!

Oh Diane I am so happy your son is coming home, two years is way to long. Have a wonderful visit with him and glad things are a little better with Sara.
