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."

Noni,

We lived in the apartment complex right off 43, across and down from the Northpoint Shopping Plaza.  Very near the Sundance where Sarge does his meet and greets now!!!  I loved seeing all the sailors and the brand new recruits every weekend out with their families, knowing they just had their PIR!!!!

Anna,
What a small world! Where in Waukegan did you live?
Comment by Anna on September 7, 2015 at 9:25pm

Noni,

I thought I recognized your screen name!!!  I understand it's hard to edit from smart phones.  

I used to live in Waukegan back a couple years ago.

Anna,
Sorry about the last name trying to delete off my phone, but will have to do it at home on my computer. I belong to your group, I just don't get on there much.
