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."

As to the phone calls--one day our recruit could not reach us (dead zone at the park.) We did at least hear from his 4 friends who got "our" minutes!

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 6, 2011 at 6:29pm: Welcome too to 1 Proud Seabee Mom (KRW) .

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 6, 2011 at 6:28pm: Welcome to Dillons Mom * SAILOR * , Cindy. You now know why I have always included dirty laundry as something to praise God for. I meant we had clothes from those we love. Now, I work with lots of volunteer work on top of my job, and it helps fill the void. I even do church laundry--the tableclothes we use each week and after receptions.

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 5, 2011 at 4:28pm: Hi Kat56 and welcome!
