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."

thanks

Comment by carol on March 23, 2011 at 10:12pm: I really liked The King's Speech, in spite of the language. I liked the way the Queen Mum was portrayed. She was one elegant, sweet woman. We saw it the day before it won the Academy Award.

Comment by carols_kitchen on March 23, 2011 at 8:34pm: Welcome Jn/Jf Mom.

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 11, 2011 at 9:13pm: Welcome Lake George Sue . And may I say that your term "so dirty you could almost smell them" is great!

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 10, 2011 at 8:23am: Welcome to KJLC2003.

Now, who has seen True Grit?

Comment by carol on December 24, 2010 at 12:26am: Nice!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a blessed New Year!

Comment by carols_kitchen on December 23, 2010 at 4:25pm: You won't be home for Christmas,

You're half a world away;

An empty place at table side

To welcome Christmas day.

Your portrait's on the mantel

Where once your stocking hung.

You smile at us, in uniform,

So brave, so sweet... so young.

While others' homes are crowded

With family and friends,

We'll think of you with longing

And love that never ends.

We'll join hands round the table,

And say a heartfelt prayer.

We'll ask God to protect you,

And keep you in his care.

And though we're not together

As Christmas eve departs,

You will be home for Christmas.

We'll hold you in our hearts.
