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 Dodie on February 18, 2013 at 10:29pm: I would love to drive up that day and meet all of you for lunch. I'm only 45 mins away & I'm used to the drive because I work in Springfield.

Comment by carols_kitchen on February 18, 2013 at 10:09pm: Could you pick a couple of restaurants to vote on? Also, would you all like to learn how to do a packing party for Molly's Adopt. Sailor? If so, we could help some of our deployed troops with a requested list of donations

Comment by medic mom on February 18, 2013 at 9:37pm: I plan on going. I'm gonna be booking my room next week. Gotta wait for the wonderful paycheck. LOL I cannot wait to meet new faces and see ones that I have seen before. I will let you gals know when I book my room but count me in. I need Navy mom time.

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on February 18, 2013 at 9:11pm: Angie, yes I typed in FUN. I am sure it is like airline tickets, the prices change all the time.

Update for everyone - we decided on April 20, 2013 to meet in Springfield. Several of us would like to stay at the same hotel. Angie found a good rate at the Drury hotel in Springfield. The promo code we used was FUN. If you have AAA you can try that, too. It includes a hot breakfast and a happy hour. We still need to choose the time and place to meet for lunch on Saturday. Please let us know if you plan to come.
