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."

Well, they didn't show the flyover.  The just showed a Lt. from my DS's squadron.  I didn't recognize this one though.  Maybe someone new.

Chris, congratulations to your DD on the elk. We are moose eaters here.
Comment by Paymaster on November 2, 2011 at 1:08pm
Chris....Congrats to DD on getting an elk.  I grew up hunting with my father.  I miss the time we spent together while hunting.  I wish I still had him as I would love to talk with him still.

Hi KathyB. Shame on me but I don't remember when he made LCDR. It's been a while, I think he is reviewed this coming year for CDR. He is just finishing up as the Maintenance Officer for his squadron. Next is the War College for his Masters.
