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 Suzi-OH on May 10, 2011 at 5:50pm: Wish I had mentioned it sooner. It was nice....especially for people who had/have Eagle Scouts. Did not realize how many people in gov't, etc....were Eagle Scouts.

This is our youngest, Giovanni - 8 y/o with Alvin. He was very nice. Patsy had just posted about Bahrain and he was talking about the base in Bahrain and a market there.

Comment by lsP3Orion on May 10, 2011 at 5:33pm: Suzi - didn't even think to ask you to do that - but thanks for the kind offer - you're probably there right now!

Paymaster - I think Shelia wrote about graduation a couple of pages ago :) Sounds like it was awesome!

Comment by Paymaster on May 10, 2011 at 4:20pm: Where Sheila? I expected to hear about graduation by now?

Comment by Suzi-OH on May 10, 2011 at 2:52pm: Darn.....if you wanted them signed....I could have picked them up here and then sent them on to you.......

Comment by lsP3Orion on May 10, 2011 at 2:44pm: Thanks for the link Suzi - just bought 2 - they are $15.11 on Amazon (one for us and one for son) - should give him something to do in his "off time" in Djibouti :) :(

Comment by Helomom on May 9, 2011 at 5:37pm: I hope all you Navy moms had a great Mother's Day. My DS called yesterday to wish me a happy day. He was at the airport on his way to San Diego. He'll be presenting at the NHA Symposium this week with his boss. They are also playing in the golf tournament on Thursday, not all work (LOL). Also had news regarding his next orders. He has been chosen to attend the Senior Officer class at the Naval War College in Newport, RI next March. He'll be getting his Masters in National Security and Strategic Studies. Pretty exciting! Still has lots of work ahead during this department head tour but the DIL is already looking at housing options. They are doing a lot of work on their house in Chesapeake but once again, it will be "the rental".

Comment by PattyM on May 8, 2011 at 1:05am: Hey! Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful moms! Got to Skype with DS late last night. Say that this past week's "news' has kept them extremely busy. Looked exhausted but enjoyed working the job. Keep DS in your prayers...our kids do such dangerous, amazing things to keep us safe. Love to all...
