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 February 11, 2013 at 1:37pm: As I said last month, I will be soaking up sunbeams in Florida, so I will miss this one. Sorry. I will catch you at a later date!

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on February 11, 2013 at 11:44am: I have Saturday on my calendar - I'll be there.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on February 11, 2013 at 12:17am: Well what are the thoughts of gathering for lunch this Saturday Feb 16th. It seems I remember when we canceled the Jan day, Linda said that date worked for her.

Anyone else open for lunch? I would drive up and combine a stop at the Edina Art Center to deliver my Sun Catchers that day. That is of course weather permitting.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on February 6, 2013 at 12:22am: Dawn,my son arrived in Norfolk over the weekend and was to report to the Eisenhower today.

Comment by JJ on January 29, 2013 at 11:37pm: I'll be soaking up sun-beams in Florida. I can't wait to get out of thhis state and head to someplace warm!! Sorry. Maybe next time.

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on January 29, 2013 at 10:25pm: Feb 16 is good for me. I get back from Charleston 2/4.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on January 29, 2013 at 10:19pm: My prayers and believing is for awesome doors to open for Nathan, may God bless him abundantly. Thank him for his service to our country. Hope everyone is staying safe in this slippery winter wonderland of MN.

What are thoughts of a gathering on the 16th of February? Since Poor Richards in Bloomington didn't work in Jan. we could set that as a destination. Your thoughts???

Comment by 2sonmom on January 29, 2013 at 5:02pm: That's exciting NavyMomx3!!

Comment by NavyMomx3 on January 29, 2013 at 12:25pm: This Mama was tickled pink yesterday. I heard from my sailor via FB. He sent me some private messages.....short but so sweet to Mama here!! We were also able to view a video he posted of some adventures he had during his 'free' time. I'm so proud of him and excited for him!!
