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 December 13, 2010 at 9:40pm: Congrats!! It's always wonderful to hear super good news!

Comment by JJ on December 10, 2010 at 12:12am: Great news to those of you who have sailors coming home (or are home) for the Holidays! Sorta like having the best present under the tree!

Robin, I'm still trying to figure out what SD stands for, since I know it isn't South Dakota. I have to think about it for a while. When in January? Is he aboard ship? I can't remember. I know it's in my brain somewhere, just can't seem to pull up the info. But then again, I can't remember where I put my car keys, either!

Comment by kellig on December 9, 2010 at 8:34pm: Looks like I wouldn't have made it anyway. Another winter weather watch and some more snow. I'll try in January.

Glad so many get Sailors home for Christmas. Mine will be here for a few days too.

Comment by carol on December 9, 2010 at 7:26pm: January might work out better for me.

Yeah for you having Phil home. We get Craig home for Christmas. Can't wait.

Christmas Greetings to all.

Comment by carol on November 24, 2010 at 4:17pm: I echo JJ's comment.
Blessings to you all May your Thanksgiving be full of joy.

Glad you got to experience PIR, whoshero. It truly is an awesome event.

Comment by JJ on November 24, 2010 at 3:33pm: Happy Thanksgiving to all, especially to all our young men and women that are serving our Country away from home. Although we will miss them, know that they are in our hearts. So, here's to our brave troops! Happy Thanksgiving, again.

Comment by whoshero on November 23, 2010 at 1:21am: PIR was awesome. It was a great weekend all around, so much fun to see my son and spend time with family. Thanks for all cheerful messages.
