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 February 9, 2011 at 10:37pm: If anyone wants info about a packing party, private message me for my phone and email.

Comment by Mommy Erin (Ship12 Div 095) on February 9, 2011 at 9:51pm: Is there anyone who lives close to Evansville. We have a Marine coming in... February 28th. She has been in Afghanistan.... She will be landing at the Evansville airport that evening.

Comment by carols_kitchen on February 5, 2011 at 12:49pm: Tureky Run--what a memory. I was probably all of 4 or 5 years old, and we went to a picnic there. Of course, my brothers dared me to get close to the creek/river. So, I had to. Promptly fell in, wearing my Sunday dress. The thing I remember most is that THEN I had to wear my swimsuit the rest of the day. Big brother and Dad saved me, needless to say.

Comment by Pat on February 4, 2011 at 6:27pm: Wow Indiana Mom's, Dad's, and family members...We are at 300 members!!!!

Not all active...but 300 members!!!

Comment by carols_kitchen on February 3, 2011 at 9:59pm: Hi. Who wants to start a Hoosier Packing Party for our troops? It's lots of fun and very addicting. Hearing from those we adopt makes your day, your week, your month, your year. Hanging thank you notes makes you appreciate what we have.
