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 January 23, 2009 at 11:41pm: Elizabeth, are you getting numbers as to who will be coming? Are you wanting the sign up on the events page? Not many on there yet.

Comment by carol on January 21, 2009 at 1:00am: When do we need to reserve the rooms by? And, who do we contact for the reservations? We just go through you for the food, right?

Comment by carol on January 20, 2009 at 5:12pm: My husband and I will come to eat and meet and greet. Right now we don't need a room, but I have to check all our calendars. For sure for the meal. Thanks again, Elizabeth. God bless on the treatment. Oh, yes, the food choice sounds great.

Comment by carol on January 17, 2009 at 8:15pm: My daughter and son-in-law and my son both have one and can talk together. It is great to "see" when you talk. My husband and I are talking about getting one. Don't know much about they, but the kids say get one with a microphone. Let us know what kind you get it you do get one.

Comment by carol on January 16, 2009 at 12:13am: I like that price range, Elizabeth.I A place to visit and to relax would be great. I will pray for nice weather. This cold stuff has been around long enough. Hope that everyone is staying safe and warm. Have a good Friday.

Comment by carol on January 14, 2009 at 4:56pm: I also would rather have Saturday, earlier in the day (say noon or 1ish). Then we have time to visit. Maybe this first time it should be just ladies? Just throwing that out, as we would probably want to talk longer. Elizabeth, would you like to try and see which location has bigger seating, or takes reservations? I don't have a big preference either. Thanks for doing this!!!! Spring will come!!!!!!!

Comment by carol on January 14, 2009 at 12:26am: I think ( a big job this late at night, as I try not to fall asleep on the couch) that the 21st-22nd might work better for me. Is MOA a possible choice? Right now I don't have another suggestion. Stay warm, ladies. Drive carefully tomorrow.
