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 September 18, 2012 at 1:54pm: It's at the Buffalo Wild Wings at Northtown Mall. Look at the Discussion list up above and click on the Oct. 13 Get Together. It gives the address. Hope you can make it.

Comment by Karen H. on September 18, 2012 at 1:40pm: Where will you be meeting in Blaine? I want to make one of these meetings.

My son arrived home the end of August for 10 days from his first deployment. It is such a relief to have him home on U.S. soil. He was on the USS Cape St. George.

Great picture of your gathering.

Comment by carol on September 13, 2012 at 1:54pm: We may do it Oct 13th.

Holly, did you see we are Stennis bookends :)

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on September 13, 2012 at 1:30pm: Sorry to see I missed the get together. This is my first time on here since mid August. The beginning of the school year is so busy. I hope I can make the next one! :-)
