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 pgrlisa on September 6, 2010 at 7:54pm: I can come any time except the first two Saturday's in October. Already have plans for those dates. I'd love to help.

Comment by susane on June 26, 2010 at 10:14pm: I am waiting for my 29 yr old son's PIR on July 1st. We live in Colorado Springs. We are flying to Milwaukee and renting a car. Staying only a couple of days. Chris has had illness and injury issues and I am hoping he is able to make up what he is behind on and makes it to PIR. So far his wife has not had that call saying the PIR is changed.....It's been tough for him I know. My husband, his dad is retires from USAF with 20 yrs. His father was career USArmy and my father was career USAF so we can understand some of what he's going through. We are so proud of him and can't wait to see him accomplish this goal - he really needs to see he can succeed.

Comment by ColoAProudSailorMom on June 1, 2010 at 1:02pm: Hey Y'all-
Wanted to join this group now that my panic of BC is over and my panic of BESS has begun! We're in Colorado Springs, and are working on the first steps this summer for a 'cabin' in Westcliffe. Looking forward to getting to know you.
