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 January 14, 2010 at 11:01pm: Hey--if you are in the SW IL area Saturday, our church is having a free winter festival. My table is making Valentines for our troops. If not for the fun, bounce house, face painting and snacks, stop by and make a Valentine. Contact me on private message if you want information.

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 14, 2010 at 10:36pm: Oh Pat--I think thePampered Chef conference is in mid July--we meet in Chicago for the huge convention center. I haven't done the warehouse tour--in what, 7 years--but it is amazing. I'll be in touch with you once I know how I'm traveling and waiting for church conference dates in Peoria. Wouldn't it be fun to see each other again and THIS time to remember to have our pix taken together~! lol

Comment by T-Lynn on January 14, 2010 at 10:06pm: HI All,
Glad you are back Jeannie :). Not to sound like a bad person - but we had a warning on the Japan site. Basicly not to be saying when and where our ships are leaving . And careful in our sharing of our sailors and what famly is up too. It was posted on the Japan site - I'll ask NDM to post it here. I know I am putting a damper on thing - espeically I am the bigest gossip. Sorry TLynn

Comment by Pat L. in IL on January 12, 2010 at 11:24pm: Carol, When in July? You know, there is a HUGE Pampered Chef warehouse (?) here in Carol Stream. Hope it is not July 30, for Christmas my daycare kids got me Bon Jovi tickets for their concert at Soldier Field that day. How cool is that??

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 12, 2010 at 8:27pm: Hey Pat--I've got Pampered Chef conference coming up in July. I may travel by train--just kinda waiting to see how my time plays out.
