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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 26, 2014 at 10:55am: I posted this in the misc thread also. Good idea, and even colored sheets from kids would be great.

Comment by Maryellen on June 26, 2014 at 10:45am: Ladies, Anyone shipping to the Philippine Sea, please please please put some cards or letter of encouragement in with your pillowcases. They are at the half way point on their deployment and could use a little extra love and support. The LT from the MRW that we are working with said that this has been a long and rough time for them. So if you can please lets send them some extra love in their boxes.

Thanks

ME

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 21, 2014 at 12:00am: The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is on tour this summer! Ronnie, who is the founder, and his brother Randy are my step-grandsons. They were born in Tucson. Ronnie is a big supporter of our military. They are a great group of guys. They were in Birmingham last night and are in Baton Rouge tonight. Check out the schedule and see if they will be near you! If you go, tell him that you are part of HAE.
