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 March 8, 2015 at 5:04pm: I am so happy that you enjoy your time with your son. It is always nice to have them home.

I am even happier to see our Winter trying to leave so Spring can arrive. We heard a Motorcycle zoom by the house this afternoon so we are looking forward to riding season once again. Can't wait.

Comment by J Peder on March 7, 2015 at 1:23am: Hi everyone, Had a great time with our son while he was home on leave for the month of Feb. But by the end I think he was ready to get back to Japan and to work.
Hopefully it won't be 2 + years before we see him again
At least he got some Minnesota Winter weather while he was here.
