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 Anti M on July 16, 2015 at 2:21pm: SubGru7? I spent more than a few hours working there, even though I was at another command (I worked on equipment not normally in subs, so they had no one officially trained to touch it). I hope they have a new building, it was in pretty sad shape in my day.

If he is an E-4 or below, he can expect to have a room in the barracks. Usually he gets his own room, with a shared bathroom. The older barracks have two to a room. E-5 can rent off base, which I did. Loved it.

He will not need or want a car, but a bike with a good lock is perfect for on base. He should get a civilian passport in case he wants to travel when not on orders. MWR has some great tours, plus on base activities, and tickets to local events and venues.

Comment by Anti M on July 7, 2015 at 9:36am: Cool, Maggs!

Blondie, my SIL used to have rental cabins in Hocking Hills. Such a lovely area!

I am off my feet, but the doc thinks I am lying about my foot pain because the MRI shows nothing. I am confused and crushed, and angry, he actually used the word "lying". Grr.
