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 July 14, 2011 at 11:00am: Julie: I read your Bike Story and it hit me so funny! Good one.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on July 13, 2011 at 9:35pm: Karen - Our son has been in San Diego since April and likes it! He bought a car because he said it was 30-45 minutes to walk everyday where he needed to go. He got rides for awhile, but didn't want to keep doing that. I told him to get a bike, but he didn't like that idea too much.....LOL

To everyone who has their Sailors home, yay!! Enjoy:-)

Comment by carol on July 13, 2011 at 10:27am: ENJOY!!!

The time goes by so quickly.

My sailor is back on base getting ready for the next "project".

I'm getting ready for my grand kids to come.

JJ, if you are there, are you going to the BSM's next meeting?

Comment by NavyMomx3 on July 13, 2011 at 7:54am: My sailor is home on leave! And yes, he is saving some time to spend with us. He is sleeping late and loving it. He'll be headed for his next assignment next week. Off to Hawaii! We are having a big family get together on Sunday in his honor.

Comment by carol on July 8, 2011 at 10:17pm: Good for you!

Comment by Karen H. on July 8, 2011 at 10:03pm: Hi everyone: It has been awhile since I have been on here. He will graduate from CS school and then he will be home for about 10 days. Then he is off on his first deployment in San Diego. We are so excited to see him.

Comment by JJ on July 6, 2011 at 11:09pm: Hugs all around! I bet you have a smile on your face a mile wide!! Enjoy the time you get to spend with him.

Comment by carol on July 6, 2011 at 7:06pm: Alright, Holly!! I'm so excited for you. I am enjoying my sailor :) It's wonderful to have him home for a bit.

Comment by carol on July 1, 2011 at 1:46pm: I'm thrilled for you, Linda. Enjoy!

Comment by MN Mom of MM on July 1, 2011 at 12:51pm: Linda savor the hugs and time with sailor son. To all have a great HOLIDAY, and prayers for those in power in this state, to act like grown-ups, come to the best agreement, and get this state back on track.
