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 KC'smom on August 5, 2011 at 2:31pm: My son said he was at Brandman University. to quote him "the whole region is cool looking". Man, now I really gotta pick up those hours at work

Comment by KC'smom on August 5, 2011 at 2:30pm: Yes, the girl and her sister who I mentioned below- she was 1 week away from PIR.

Comment by KC'smom on August 5, 2011 at 2:18pm: I am gonna work sooooo much over-time to make a trip happen!! We just spent $2,000 to fly our family out to GL for PIR and we only saw him a grand total of 11 hours. hahahaa My husband says NO to going to California. Well, maybe he can stay here w/ the kids then!!

Comment by KC'smom on August 5, 2011 at 2:04pm: my son obviously can't take pictures of the inside of the base for me, but he went to the community college today for his new statistics class and oh my God! The building he was going into looked like a Zen Center!!! Nothing like the university he came from!!

Comment by Olivezick on August 5, 2011 at 12:37pm: I feel so blessed. I just got back from California after visiting a few days with my mom and siblings (I'm from Southern California, but now live in Arkansas), then driving north (6 hour drive) with my 81 year old mother to spend last weekend in Monterey, visiting with my son. My son so wanted his Grandma to be able to see where he lives (well, and me, too)--and she was so excited! The three of us had a wonderful visit...and my son and I had some time alone, while Mom rested at the hotel. Such a great time! If you can, go visit your son/daughter in Monterey--you won't regret the credit card bills! :)

Comment by Leslie1200 on August 5, 2011 at 10:44am: Thanks Dee and KC'smom- will go ask question on other site too. (Shoulda done that in the first place I guess!)
