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 lnaipaul on April 6, 2011 at 5:43pm: Hi ladies Gerry congrats on 25 years you go girl , it has been 16 years for me. Wanderburst - the beach across from pier park in panama city you can take the dogs on the beach they will surely love it. If you get a chance and like to swim take a boat out to shell island and you can jump in water with dolphins, it depends on if they want to play they can be moody sometimes lol. Proudnavywife- you are from maryland , i live in Catonsville, you are right next door in ellicott city, so funny. I don't know if your husband knows my son, he will be graduating on 4/19. I was down in panama city last week and met all the guys from my sons division and also some from other dive division. My son is only 18 the youngest. bye

Comment by Wanderlust on April 5, 2011 at 9:55pm: ProudNavyWife - hi there! I've actually met your husband in Chicago and then again in Panama! Couple of them all studied together before a big test one weekend I was there. They were helping each other out... it was cute :)

Yes, definitely going to graduation. Are you? Have you been able to visit at all?

Comment by ProudNavyWife 0828 on April 5, 2011 at 8:07pm: will you be going to graduation?

Comment by ProudNavyWife 0828 on April 5, 2011 at 8:06pm: wanderlust - my husband is graduating July 11 too!

Comment by Wanderlust on April 4, 2011 at 10:35pm: Oh been there done that PIR weekend ;) And yes, I am def the prize to him. These tough guys melt when it comes to their women. My husband is dying to see his family - which is me and our two dogs. I'm driving the dogs to Panama City this weekend.

Kudos on 25 years! We're only at 1 year in June, but the 7 years together before still count to me :)
