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 Valtameri on August 31, 2011 at 10:58pm: I'm not sure.

How about a NAS Oceana sign with us in front?

Comment by sjtina on August 31, 2011 at 9:02pm: At the top next to invite, there should be a options drop box. Go to edit group, then click on image and you can browse. Do we have a winner out of Holly's picture? Its tough to pick they were all really good.

Comment by Valtameri on August 31, 2011 at 8:34pm: Listen up! I'm the boss around here now, and this is how it's gonna be ...

Oh, wait, sorry, the power momentarily went to my head.

What I meant was, I can change the picture now ... any ideas?

Comment by susanm(ZEKESMOM) on August 31, 2011 at 1:50pm: Hello - My son recently transfered to Oceana. I'm excited because he is closer to home. My husband and I bought a camper a few weeks ago and are hoping to find a campground close by so that we can visit. Any suggestions?

Comment by m'smom on August 31, 2011 at 1:41pm: You go girl-I tried back to school around 42. Within a couple of weeks of signing up I was diagnoised with Breast Cancer. End of classes. Professor for the class I was in was very disappointed. I had such a high grade he told me not to worry about taking the final, I got an A without the final. It was really embarrassing because he would hand back quiz and test papers and say things like' Well there was one perfect grade again!' I was the oldest and was taking a class in what I do everyday! I guess I am in teh right job!

We will forgive any punchy comments you make and just take you to the 'ring' once in awhile!

Holly-love the pics!

Nothing from the creator yet! Should we call her Vyger as in the Star Trek movie??

Comment by sjtina on August 31, 2011 at 1:14pm: Valtameri I love your nail polish. And look we have a audience.

Holly you are definately out doing yourself. Very creative.

m'smom I will definately try sitting on my hands. At 48 I have gone back to school part time after my full time job. Its only week 5 and I am already sleep deprived. and a little punchy, so excuse me if I dont always make sense.
