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 carol on October 29, 2011 at 2:34pm: Hi, yes, I am doing better. The medicine should be done today, and it seems both eyes work together again. I've been very busy at school, and this week report cards have to be done. Thanks.

Julie, how are you?

Comment by JJ on October 29, 2011 at 12:44pm: Carol....I hope that you are on the mend. Haven't heard if your eye is better or worse, so will be sending more prayers your way.

Julie....Hope you are still doing well and that shoulder is continueing to do well.

Comment by pinkcubby on October 29, 2011 at 2:44am: November 12 is the best date for me to make it to the luncheon. I am busy November 19.

Comment by kellig on October 22, 2011 at 11:30pm: I won't be able to give an answer for either date til closer to the time. One is my grandma's birthday and one is my daughter's birthday. No plans for either right now but you never know what will pop up! I will try to make it if I can.

Comment by carol on October 21, 2011 at 7:12pm: I prefer Northtown.

Hi JJ. The eye is still feeling a little weird. Hopefully I won't have to go back to the eye doctor. Right now either day should work.
