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 April 3, 2011 at 10:25pm: Julie, I'm hoping to make it and get to see you again.

How's your weather? Did your snow all melt?

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on April 2, 2011 at 5:16pm: I called and have reservations at Chili's on 394 x 100 on April 9. I was going to go to a town hall meeting at the humane society, but decided that I'll go to N4M meeting instead. so I'll see you there. :-)

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on March 31, 2011 at 7:43am: I can call and make reservations for April 9 at Chilis unless someone else wants to make reservations somewhere, but probably won't be able to make this one. will post a discussion forum when I get reservations made.

Comment by JJ on March 30, 2011 at 11:46pm: Linda, May 7th is OUT for me. Sorry. I am going to be busy with another club I belong to and have already volunteered my services for that day. Dang!!
