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 rosorb on July 16, 2012 at 11:11am: I saw a bunch of Navy grads in the city yesterday. They must have been there for the Taste. I wanted to hug ALL of them. My son graduates in 2 weeks and I can't wait to see him. It made me feel closer to him to see these kids :-)

Comment by Pamela on July 16, 2012 at 10:13am: I Missed the lunch on Saturday :(

Comment by carols_kitchen on July 16, 2012 at 10:04am: Have a very sick air conditioner today. It is frozen up---we are not. Fortunately our neighbor is an AC doctor, and will be over tonight when he is done with his regular rounds.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on July 16, 2012 at 9:13am: "Symone" appears to be a spammer. Message sent to Admin.

Comment by Thetwoj on July 16, 2012 at 9:11am: Looks like you gals had a wonderful time this weekend. I'm thinking a weekend overnight for dinner and cocktails is something I could see doing. Sounds like a hoot! Possibly a wine tasting weekend this fall? Illinois has some great wineries, both north and south and Starved Rock has a great lodge that's cheap and close to a great winetasting trail. Just a thought.

Comment by Future Doc's mom 09 001 on July 15, 2012 at 9:07pm: Hi everyone, I just wanted to say I hope everyone had a good weekend, and a wonderful week. Hugs to everyone :)

Comment by Pentwater98 on July 15, 2012 at 9:50am: Good Morning Ladies... I had a great time yesterday too... Can't wait for the next one... Maybe the next one could be a stayover like Angie mentioned. I really like the idea of cocktails but not so much about the tattoo.. Think I will leave that up to my Sailor... I am a BIG BABY...

Comment by medic mom on July 14, 2012 at 11:12pm: I am in for cocktails and tattoos gals. Just let me know.
