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 TennMom on April 22, 2011 at 4:49pm: Nancy, good to hear from you, I am keeping you guys in my prayers. Stay safe in Uganda!!

Comment by AH on April 22, 2011 at 3:20pm: Rosemarie, I had posted some Tiger Cruise pictures on my page. I just sent you a friend request. Maybe you can view them there. I don't remember anyone else with Tiger Cruise pictures so maybe it was me. I need to add some more but just haven't had time.

Comment by LHR on April 22, 2011 at 12:31pm: Denise, We haven't "met" yet, but I've been following along, feel so sorry about what your son's been going through and hope he's feeling much better. Praying for a safe trip for him and comfort for you. Wish I could offer a resting place along his route, but we're only a couple of hours south of you in NJ, so he's probably already beyond us by now. Best of luck to him.

Comment by Paymaster on April 21, 2011 at 9:08am: Sheila....Hope you get some much needed sleep. You won't do your mom any good if you are down. Do hope you have a wonderful time at your reunion!

Nancy....Bless you and your family as you undertake this wonder event of adopting.

Comment by Rosemarie on April 20, 2011 at 9:35pm: Someone recently posted pictures from their Tiger Cruise. I never got to look at them and now I can't seem to find them, Can you repost please? Thanks

Comment by PattyM on April 19, 2011 at 10:35pm: MMF: She is gorgeous! We are awaiting grandbaby #1 (not from active duty SD) in November...cannot WAIT to be grandparents, finally! Yippee!!!!

DJ - Didn't know your SD was on DET. Can't say anything about my SD's because of the EP-3 mission. I am just grateful they are 35000 ft up in the air and NOT on the ground!

Comment by lsP3Orion on April 19, 2011 at 6:06pm: Leslie - I hear your passion about the uniform - but I was really pissed off watching last night and I guess MMF said it best - that it's the lack of respect that I was feeling more than anything!

I think Kendra should go home - I'm tired of her whining about "not being a lady, blah, blah and her cycle" LOL I'd love to text with you, but you probably aren't up when it comes on here on the West Coast :) I'll send a PM with my contact info though!

Comment by Rosemarie on April 19, 2011 at 4:45pm: OK--another moving question. If the Navy moves him, I hear they want to unassemble everything themselves, and reassemble it on delivery. But I have his stuff stored in my garage, unassembled....bed, desk etc. Do I have to reassemble everything?

Comment by Julie on April 19, 2011 at 4:12pm: flyboymom- thanks for story about your own phone call! The extra weight may have helped with weight resistance lol. My aerobics class laughs at me especially last night when I wore my new squadron tee- shirt in a ladies large and it hardly fit:)
