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 February 13, 2011 at 11:38pm: VERY cool day today ... started watching divisions march to the chapel, stopping only for colors at 8AM sharp. Incredibly moving to watch colors fly over RTC while the National Anthem played and all else was still. Then, when we arrived to drop her off it was evening colors. When she heard it, she hustled to the back of the van, snapped to attention and stood at a salute ... I couldn't stop staring at her. SO PROUD OF MY SAILOR!

Comment by carol on February 12, 2011 at 12:06am: Have a good trip home, on Monday, tls. Enjoy the time.

Comment by tls on February 11, 2011 at 10:53pm: Nope ... I meant back in the hotel room ... :-) Still here --- leaving on Monday. Any word from your SR yet, Ellen? I asked my daughter to ask and see if they could find her and give her a phone call home ...

Comment by Ellen S. on February 11, 2011 at 8:59pm: tls what? you are back here? I thought you were going to stay for the weekend.

Comment by carol on February 11, 2011 at 8:53pm: Lauritz, I am so glad for the good news. Are you doing better now that he is on the mend? Yes, I do hope that you can get together with us one of these times.

tls, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!!! It is hard to put into words, but such a wonderful experience. Glad you had a safe trip.

Comment by tls on February 11, 2011 at 8:36pm: Back from PIR ... wow ... yup, that's about it. It was awesome, amazing and incredible, and I did NOT cry ... much :-)

Comment by JJ on February 11, 2011 at 3:19pm: Or....you could set one up! We really don't have any one person that sets up the get togethers, sorta who ever wants to make the arrangements. You know place and time along with a date. Not too much to it!

Now for Nathan....what wonderful news. I am sure that he will be making a full recovery very soon.

Comment by kellig on February 10, 2011 at 12:30am: Congratulations to your new Sailor and PIR is awesome. Enjoy your weekend!

Comment by JJ on February 10, 2011 at 12:28am: Congrats! Isn't it just the best feeling!! Although it has been a long time ago for me, I remember that feeling of such pride I just wanted to bust!!
