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 SandySea on May 20, 2013 at 9:28am: youngestson-- Welcome! It looks like you are on the eastern side of the state. You may want to look into the Indiana moms group too. Good news---we do have a couple of ladies over near Mt. Vernon. I am near Fairview Heights. We have met there for lunch a couple of times in the past year. I would be willing to meet in Mt. Vernon too.

Comment by carols_kitchen on May 20, 2013 at 7:01am: youngestson--I am depending upon how far south you are. I'm about 20 miles east of the St Louis Arch. Sending you a friend request.

Comment by carols_kitchen on May 19, 2013 at 3:21pm: Too far to travel after JUST coming home from seeing our sailor soon! I'll be partying with his crew :)

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on May 19, 2013 at 3:18pm: Wish I could get there for the party, but the next day my two granddaughters belonging to my sailor and I drive to NW Iowa for American Legion Junior Auxiliary camp for a week. They've been accepted to a military kids camp in Davenport, Iowa, for a week the first of July, too.
