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 March 29, 2011 at 1:51pm: Thanks for the name! It is always wonderful to put a name with the face. And if I am correct, that's Maryann across from you? But the others, I really need help with those names. Maybe Kelli on the far right? Help me out.

Comment by tls on March 29, 2011 at 9:23am: Great picture! Looks like you had fun! Hope I can get there next month!

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on March 29, 2011 at 7:43am: I am terrible with names also, but I'm in the middle on the right

Comment by JJ on March 28, 2011 at 11:22pm: Great photos.....now we just need the names to go with them! I have the worst time with names! Everyone looks great. Just remember girls, if I would have dragged my body to lunch on Saturday, you would have ALL been sick today. I still have my cough. The dizziness is still with me, but now it is just when I turn my head to the right. Still not driving because of it. Matter of fact, I haven't been out of the house for nearly three weeks. For the last couple of days, I have pretended to be a cat and have sat by the front window in the sun for a few minutes here and there. Ted says I'm getting better, since he was nice enough to share with me, when he is at 100%, I'll be right behind him. He is nearly there, but I hear him coughing once in a while so there is hope for me in the very near future.

Comment by carol on March 28, 2011 at 10:33pm: Nice picture. You all look so good! Wish i had been there. I'm hoping next time.

Comment by kellig on March 28, 2011 at 9:16pm: ok it did, just a little on the long side! It was a lot of fun and I'm glad I was able to make it. Jane and I got to have a nice visit on the "hour longer than usual" drive.

Comment by kellig on March 28, 2011 at 9:14pm: Ok, hope the pic shows up on here.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on March 28, 2011 at 1:37pm: I can try to post a picture too. I spent the weekend getting organized because our Sailor comes home tomorrow (although we still don't know when) so I didn't have time to post a picture yet. It was nice meeting everyone:-)

Comment by MN Mom of MM on March 27, 2011 at 5:09pm: Greetings Minnesota Moms, It was great to have the opportunity to meet at Chilis yesterday. Good food.... Good company. Kelli and I had a wonderful visit as we drove together from the south. Linda, I could also try to post the pic from my camera, I am learning, but things were so easy when my sailor was here and I could just say. Please put this on for me. When I wanted to add a pic to my profile I am sure I spent an hour. If I don't see one from someone I will try.
