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 MN Mom of MM on November 25, 2012 at 10:23pm: Welcome stamp6789, My sailor is graduating from prototype in New York on Thursday this week. He arrived at Goose Creek Jan 8, 2011 and did the A school and power School there, leaving for Balston Spa April of 2012. Any questions about the Nuke pipeline, just ask. I am in Mankato, and sailor son has been in the Navy just a little over 2 of his 6 years.

Comment by JJ on November 22, 2012 at 11:59pm: Welcome Dawn!

Comment by JJ on November 20, 2012 at 12:02am: Yup! They were only here for a few hours. But one cannot kick them out just because there is a meeting the same night! LOL besides, I took care of what I needed to do with the BSM's so all is good.

Comment by carol on November 19, 2012 at 8:52pm: I'm hoping to be there.

Company gone now?

Comment by JJ on November 19, 2012 at 4:35pm: I was there at about 6:15 to drop off the flyers but had to leave right away since I had company arriving at my house! I couldn't very well leave them sitting in my livingroom for 2 hours while I was at the meeting!! Maybe I will see you at the next get together on December 8th.
