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 ISH-MOM on December 13, 2012 at 3:26pm: Carol and JJ - this sound like loads of fun and not to far from my house. I live in Champlin..Anyone else out there? And it would nice to get out and meet all of you! My husband just doesnt understand....

Comment by JJ on December 13, 2012 at 2:58pm: Yes we do have fun at these! We like to show pictures of or kids and chat about them, but mostly we get together for US. A time to get out of the house and enjoy time with other Navy Moms. It is always fun to have time for ourselves and meet old friends as well as new ones. Please try to join us when you can.

Comment by carol on December 13, 2012 at 2:53pm: We have fun at our lunches. I hope that you can come to one (or more) as we have them. We mainly use the Buffalo Wild Wings at Northtown in Blaine, because that seems to be easy for us who usually come to get to. (Hope that made sense.)

Welcome ISH-MOM.
