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 tls on June 6, 2011 at 2:08pm: Called BWW's ... they will expect us at the usual time --- see those of you that can make it at 1:00 pm on June 18th! I will also add a discussion for easier finding!!

Comment by NavyMomx3 on June 6, 2011 at 10:47am: Having lunch in Hawaii sounds awesome!! LOL

I will have to miss the luncheon on Saturday, June 18th. That is the day after I get back from a work trip from Hawaii. I am on a red eye flight home....I'll be dragging my butt after working with ten special need individuals on their trip to Hawaii.

Comment by carol on June 6, 2011 at 12:50am: I have to miss this one, also. Rats, I really wanted to meet your sailor.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on June 6, 2011 at 12:40am: The 18th of June we will be leaving Goose Creek for the drive home. Aaron starts power school on the 23rd so we are driving down to spend some time with him before he starts classes. So sad to miss this one:(

Comment by JJ on June 5, 2011 at 10:15pm: I will be there!! 1:00...the usual time??

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on June 5, 2011 at 4:09pm: that works for me -- I have a wedding that evening, so we will be in town.

Comment by tls on June 5, 2011 at 3:53pm: Okay ... well let's say I planned something for Saturday, June 18th at Buffalo Wild Wings at Northtown --- would that work for at least some of you?

Comment by JJ on June 5, 2011 at 3:48pm: tls....perfect time for you to set something up! Your sailor is home, so you can pick. Just find a place that can have 6 or so people and let us know. Many of us drive and you know us...if there is food and pictures of our kids...we'll be there.

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on June 5, 2011 at 3:13pm: summer is going to be tough to get together, so you should just pick a time that works for you and your daughter and hopefully somewill be able to meet.
