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 TLC72 on March 3, 2016 at 11:29pm: Batmom -where are you close to? I'm 1 1/2 - 2 hrs from Fairview also.

Comment by Batmom on March 2, 2016 at 11:42pm: Fairview heights is about 2 hrs away from me. Maybe we can find someplace in the middle.

Comment by Ellen65 on March 2, 2016 at 6:54pm: I'm in Southern IL, 10 or so miles from Belleville, 15 or so from Fairview Heights if anyone is close, I'd love to meet up too. I met up for lunch packing once with a group of 5 or so and really enjoyed.

Comment by TLC72 on March 2, 2016 at 5:34pm: Peoria is still about 2 hours from me, but I would drive it if I had to. However, this Saturday we will be on our way out east to spend my sailors 21st bday with him. We've missed the last 2 and will next year also, so here's our chance. Have fun at the lunches.

Comment by medic mom on March 2, 2016 at 5:13pm: Awww! Will keep you in mind for our next lunch. Have fun with your sailor.

Comment by medic mom on March 2, 2016 at 5:05pm: Hello gals! I'm from central Illinois also. The Peoria area. A few of us are getting together this Saturday at Red Robin in East Peoria at 1130 for lunch. If any of you gals wish to join us please do.

Comment by carols_kitchen on March 2, 2016 at 3:37pm: Hi. I moved to NE Florida. I was the one who put together the Fairvew Heights meets. Maybe someone new will find this group.

Comment by AJ's-Mom on March 2, 2016 at 12:51pm: I'm excited that we have a group in Central Illinois. Batmom, I wish you were closer! I do recall a group meeting in Fairview Heights at one point. Is that closer to you?

Does anyone have a preference for a date or place to meet?
