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 carols_kitchen on March 31, 2010 at 3:09pm: DODIEG--Hi, live in Troy, work in Marine. Michele C is my gal pal with power in Belleville!

DAN's MOM--hope you get to visit Goose Creek. We've been there about 5 times, and really really like Foster Creek Villas on base. They are affordable, have kitchens and laundry facilities in the rentals, so you can pack light!

Comment by Dodie on March 30, 2010 at 10:41pm: carols kitchen, thank you for the info. How far south are you? I work in Belleville. I've read postings for meets in the metro east.

Comment by carols_kitchen on March 30, 2010 at 9:40pm: Hi dodieg--look up Karen C here--and we have others from Springfield and Taylorville. I'm down by St Louis. Glad to have you with us!
