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 m'smom on December 8, 2011 at 1:50pm: Very quiet on here again. Everyone ok? Busy getting ready for the Holidays?

Comment by sjtina on December 1, 2011 at 4:46pm: valtameri I am so sorry for your loss. My father passed away 15 years ago and I still miss him. Having your son home was hopefully some comfort for you.

monkeymind I will ask my son if he gets any allowances for using his car on base.

Comment by monkeymind on December 1, 2011 at 3:22pm: valtameri-what a blessing that your son was able to spend such quality time with your father, he will forever remember and be grateful for that.

Does anyone know if there is reimbursement available for us to tow my son's car down to him. I know uhaul said they give discounts on the trailer if my son reserves it through the duty department. Is there any other reimbursement for gas and such that anyone is aware of?

Comment by John and Yvonne on December 1, 2011 at 3:04pm: We too, are sorry for the passing of your Dad...But happy to hear that he and your son spent some quality time together. We will keep you in our prayers.........
