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 Gini on March 23, 2011 at 1:09pm: Thanks, Gay! I will do my best to be there! I realize that it's not until May but is there a time already set for the packing party? Also, what other types of items are you collecting as I love to shop too? (Especially when I know it's for supporting our sailors!)

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on March 23, 2011 at 11:29am: Is it on Wadsworth? I googeld the address. Sometimes the addresses are out of date.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on March 23, 2011 at 11:25am: Gay, I am going to the May packing party. Do you have the address of the Arvada Recruiting Office?

Comment by Gini on March 22, 2011 at 3:15pm: Thanks navywife for your words of encouragement. I appreciate it.

I'm in the Denver metro area & would love to be a part of that packing party, so thanks for the info.

Comment by Gini on March 22, 2011 at 1:47pm: Hi everyone, Where are these packing parties held? Does anyone else have a sailor on the RR? My son is an feeling a little discouraged from having to stay inside. He feels his way of helping, doing what he's told, is not as important as those pilots & others actually bringing the food, etc to those in need. I'm trying to e-mail him every day & encourage him the best I can. Thanks for listening & praying for our sailors on the RR.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on March 21, 2011 at 10:49am: Chris, You posted a while back the items needed to be collected for the May packing party. You didn't say what size you would like. My friend was asking, so I thought I would send you a posting just in case there were others wondering. Hotel size, Travel size, Personal size, Family size or Big Box size. Oh what choices we have...

Comment by glassdog on March 18, 2011 at 9:12am: Our son had his PIR last Friday and I now really feel like a Navy mom! I am really looking forward to May4!

Comment by phoebe stg2 on March 17, 2011 at 11:58pm: Chris, Thanks for sharing...

Comment by PikesPeakMom on March 17, 2011 at 11:33pm: Any families set to go to PIR April 15?

Comment by phoebe stg2 on March 17, 2011 at 5:44pm: Janet R...Yes it would be. I've also been sewing/crafting for 30+ years and have gotten along without buying a Serger. With having boys I just never got into it enough to purchase one. Have a great day sewing...
