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."

KKF - leave early is right. My sister lives near AA and when her son PIRed - it took two hours longer than expected due to a bad accident. I don't remember what roads she traveled to get there now. At least ...the snow should be clear for you that weekend!

Well if the Atlanta Thasher can't win (and obviously they can't) I'd be happy to see Stanley back in my hometown!

Hi Janet, welcome to the site. I remember Chelsea! My sister is in Pickney, actually all of our family is spread around the area but we moved south - no more snow or ice for us!

What a big day for graduation your son has!
Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on May 23, 2008 at 3:52pm
KKF - I know if they are 12 and under, they do not have to be on the guest list which still gives your Sailor to be 4 seats to work with. I don't believe IDs are required at that age either but double check the graduation paperwork that you received as they spell it out on there. When do you PIR?
