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 Kathleen10 on August 23, 2011 at 8:33am: We went and saw our son this past weekend at Great Lakes, so great to see him. He is doing great in school. He seems to be content. We were able to be his liberty buddies, very nice.

I grew up in Carlinville. My Dad still lives there and I go at least once a month to see him.

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on August 21, 2011 at 10:09pm: Thanks everyone! I'm thrilled! He just left an hour ago. Even harder to say goodbye when he proposed the day before.

So what is going on in Schaumburg? That's right by my house! I'd totally take the train back from school for the weekend.
