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 B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 10, 2018 at 7:00pm: Oh kai cat - that sure sounds like fun! B will be in MI then. I'm going to let him know and maybe he and his GF will go to the game. That's pretty cool that they are letting Navy moms hold the flag. Make sure someone gets pictures!!!!

Comment by kai cat on May 10, 2018 at 6:37pm: I don't know how many of you are on Facebook also - but one of the mom's is working on this:

Ok Ladies. Who would be up for this.....
Lansing Lugnuts Salute to Service is Friday, July 20th. He was excited about having a bunch of military moms there. Will probably get us on the field for the Anthem. Tickets for seats, not bleacher, are $26. He’s hoping to have a giant flag on the field and if possible....us moms holding it. Does THAT give you goosebumps?

_______

I think spouses and other family in the Bleachers - moms with navy mom t-shirts on the field for the Anthem!!!

What do any of you think? There was some talk of carpooling also from up north.

Comment by PKM on May 10, 2018 at 10:00am: Confirming:
