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 Pat L. in IL on May 3, 2010 at 10:37pm: T-Lynn, So glad that you aren't mad at yourself anymore. I've been having problems with not getting email notifications of posts on here. Periodically, I just sneak in the "back door" and see what is going on. This weekend I will be gone so am having my personal computer guru (who I also gave birth to) check my laptop out. Anyone else having any problems??? But T-Lynn, I did enjoy your explanation!!!!

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 28, 2010 at 3:59pm: Linda--do you have a "211" phone number program? St Louis does, but not metro east Illinois. It coordinates all help agencies.

Check with Social Services at your local hospital. They may have some resources. Also ask at the church-- I know we help with local ministries once they have checked in with the police department to be sure they haven't made multiple requests as a scam. I'll think on this overnight to see if I have any other ideas.

Comment by TheRightThing on April 24, 2010 at 2:17pm: Thanks Dan's Mom & Carol's kitchen......I have some time so I'm going to check it out this afternoon. I do appreciate you help!
