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 February 15, 2009 at 11:46pm: Hey there, ladies, are we still on for next Saturday? Just checking in to make sure I didn't miss anything. Hope your weekend was nice. Here's to a wonderful week.

Comment by carol on February 6, 2009 at 11:53pm: All right, Lauritz. Give him big hugs for us.

Comment by carol on February 6, 2009 at 12:29am: Makes you thankful for better phone service and texting, doesn't it. Just heard from my son tonight. He's still in A school in Pensacola, but hasn't been home since he left for Boot Camp, September 30. Big test for him tomorrow.

Comment by carol on February 5, 2009 at 9:49pm: I'm so happy for you and your family, Lauritz. Just enjoy the time together, which I know that you will.

Comment by carol on February 4, 2009 at 8:57pm: Hope everyone is doing well. I'm looking forward to the 21st.

Comment by carol on February 3, 2009 at 10:15am: Oh, Wendy, I'm glad you're ok. I'm so sorry to hear of your accident. Hope you don't have any lasting effects. Take care.

Comment by carol on February 3, 2009 at 12:41am: Hey, ladies, are you all warm and cozy? What's the count for the 21st? Elizabeth, pray that you are feeling ok. Have a good night.

Comment by carol on January 25, 2009 at 10:45pm: Lauritz, how nice that Nathan can come home, but how disappointing that you may not get to come. We would rather have the kids home, though. Take care, and have a good week.

Comment by carol on January 24, 2009 at 12:38am: That's ok, Chris, I find lots of info on the various sites. Sorry that you can't join us, but I bet you are enjoying the weather in CA. -3 right now. Another cold weekend, but the end might be coming. Have a good weekend.

Comment by carol on January 24, 2009 at 12:22am: Welcome, Chris. Glad you could join us. Will you be able to join us in the Meet and Greet on Feb. 21st? Hope so. I also am from Coon Rapids. My son is in Pensacola for A school. He PIRed 11/21/08. I'm really new to the whole setup.
