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."

I am so glad he has someone to spend it with and then he heads here to MN fro New Years. I am blessed.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Enjoy your day!

Comment by MN Mom of MM on December 24, 2012 at 11:01pm: Wishing all the MN navy families a very Happy Holiday Season. We have some unexpected events. Sailor son went with friends to a mexican resturant here Sat eve, and was sick all day today. We think food poisoning. One other fellow was also sick, but someone else who ate the same food wasn't. Praying for God's speedy healing for son so he can enjoy the rest of his time here. and tomorrow is suppose to be gathering at my brothers for dinner. We will see how son feels and how it all plays out .

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on December 23, 2012 at 10:13am: I'm glad neither of you were in that crash. I grew up in Iowa and roads tend to be much icier than here.

Comment by carol on December 23, 2012 at 1:07am: JJ, glad to hear you are safe. We delayed our trip until today, and saw tons of cars in the ditch along the way in IA. Might have even seen some of the cars from that awful accident. Once past Des Moines things were better. Stay safe.

Merry Christmas to all!
