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 JJ on December 14, 2011 at 7:09pm: Just a reminder, Don't forget the the get together on December 17th in Blaine, MN. Check the above Discussion Forum for details! See you then.

Comment by JJ on December 10, 2011 at 1:32pm: Karen, I'm not sure. Try sending that message out to other groups on the site since most are just from Minnesota on thiws site. (also ask your sailor to check on board for other Minnesota kids. Maybe they will tell this moms about this site!); Or even at the Moms Chat at the bottom of the page. But you might have to ask that at different times during the day andevening since so many moms go to the chat at different times. Good luck and I hope that you find lotza other moms that have kids in the USS Cape St. George. It would make for a wonderful Christmas gift for you.

Comment by Karen H. on December 10, 2011 at 11:04am: Everyone, It has been a while since I have been to this site. I have been busy mailing packages, letters to my sailor. I am wondering if there is anyone who might have a sailor on the USS Cape St. George?
