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 Miriam43 (Japan/USS George Wash) on November 16, 2011 at 9:34am: sorry for your loss... God bless!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on November 16, 2011 at 8:10am: Oh Sally, I am so sorry for your loss. You know that your sisters will welcome you with open arms!!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on November 16, 2011 at 12:13am: Miriam, Welcome! I used to stalk my mail carrier. After I told him why, on Tuesday's he would pull up to the mailbox and wave the letter!!! Hoping tomorrow is the day!!

Comment by Miriam43 (Japan/USS George Wash) on November 15, 2011 at 11:50pm: Mary, thank you for your kind words and support I really do appreciate it. Maybe tomorrow is the day I get a letter... can't wait :)

Comment by Miriam43 (Japan/USS George Wash) on November 15, 2011 at 6:31pm: Shopping uh?!? Your my kind of girl!!! Thanks Paula S. best advice yet! :)

Comment by Miriam43 (Japan/USS George Wash) on November 15, 2011 at 4:18pm: Happy birthday Michelle and God bless!!

Comment by Miriam43 (Japan/USS George Wash) on November 15, 2011 at 4:18pm: I'm sorry I wasn't able to stop by Saturday I really was looking forward to meeting everyone but I had guests come by my house from out of town... hopefully we can still be able to get together soon in any other event. My daughter left 11/8/11 and so far i've only gotten the box but nothing else since. By far this is THE HARDEST thing I've ever gone through in my life not being able to txt her, call her, hear her voice it's just excrutiatingly painful. So to be able to actually meet Chicago moms that can relate to what I'm going through would've been awsome.

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on November 13, 2011 at 12:10pm: hello, it is me again. LOL Had a really nice time last night, boy when that music gets started you really cannot talk, but it was good song and music. I know it is kind of late this year but next year we should try a Christmas dinner (we could do it at the end of November) before we all get too busy and do a grab bag for around $25 that would be fun, just a thought. Have a great Sunday!

Hey Coco I have been thinking about you, how are you?

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on November 12, 2011 at 12:36pm: Where is everyone ok, so I am talking to myself I will have nothing to say tonight!

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on November 12, 2011 at 12:36pm: Mary, LOL why, we are fun. Stephen would come in a heart beat, he would not stay long but he would come. Tell him we will buy him a DRINK!!!!!!!!!!!!
