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 Sanmor on August 14, 2012 at 10:44am: Good morning all.

I am lost as to the lunch, is it just Medic Mom and myself?? I hope others will try, if not we could move it I suppose {:oD

Comment by medic mom on August 12, 2012 at 10:15am: Good morning everyone! Hope you have all had a good weekend. Have a great day!

Comment by Thetwoj on August 10, 2012 at 12:10pm: I'm sorry too, we just have so much going on in the next 5 weeks preparing for my son to leave for Boot Camp, I don't want to miss even one minute of my time with him before he goes. Peoria would be an all day thing for me since it's at least a 2 hour drive for me. Have fun!

Comment by navym29 on August 7, 2012 at 12:37pm: I wish I could make it we are taking a family vacation before our girl leaves for BC!

Sorry ladies but i will the next time around!

Comment by medic mom on August 5, 2012 at 11:10am: Ok everyone. I was just talking with Sanmor. I am gonna set up a lunch thing for Sautday August 25th at 1 pm at Olive Garden in Peoria. I will put it up after a bit. Hopefully some of you gals can make it. Please do if you can. Have a great day!

Comment by Sanmor on August 5, 2012 at 9:28am: good morning everyone, and yes I am up for a lunch in Peoria Aug 25. That is my anniversary too {:oD

Comment by medic mom on August 5, 2012 at 9:22am: Ok question for all of you gals. How about getting together for lunch on Saturday August 25th in Peoria? Anyone up for this or would another location be better for you gals? Probably would be around 1pm. Wanna see what we can do about getting together before a few of us getting busy with marching band season. If this works let me know. I will get figure out a place and we can go from there. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Comment by Glo Mom of Future Officer on August 4, 2012 at 5:12am: Hi Navym29 - I'm from Taylorville and my son leaves for bc on Thursday. He is part of Cardinal Company and will be leaving for St. Louis on Monday to practice for the swearing in ceremony at the Soldier's Memorial and at the Cardinal game. Glad to find a mom close to where I live.
