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."

will you be there for graduation Colleen and navyarmymom?
Comment by ColleenJ on August 22, 2011 at 12:08pm
It was amazing! And really great to see my boyfriend again after almost 3 months! Panama City is very hot and very humid compared to Salt Lake but it's a really beautiful place and the beaches are really nice!

Hi momof5.  Welcome to you, too.  I talked to my son last night and he said that pool week has been a blast so far.  He is loving it!
Comment by momof5 on August 20, 2011 at 12:58pm
Hi navyarmymom....yes to the 11-7dee...they finish up pool week this next Wed...nice to know you're here.
Comment by navyarmymom on August 18, 2011 at 4:16pm
My son is in 11-7dee (I was told not to type the real numbers) at PC and they start pool week today.  Does anyone else have someone in that class?  It would be nice to compare notes.
Comment by ColleenJ on August 1, 2011 at 11:47am
Forevermom, my boyfriend will be starting dive school on Friday. He has been down in Panama City for a few weeks now but he's just been doing pt in the mornings then he helps out at the schoolhouse in the afternoons. He's definitely looking forward to finally starting dive school! I hope your son gets better soon!
