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 CCR on June 25, 2009 at 8:11pm: Absolutely the Midway. I do have a lot of good ideas from navy moms, I've written them ALL down.

Comment by CCR on June 5, 2009 at 1:10pm: Thanks to C from T, who suggested a hotel that costs virtually nothing, I am able to go to SD to see my son. Anyone have some museums and places I could go while there? I'm not going to pay that much for a plane ticket and not stay a week, and the hotel is so cheap, I plan on seeing a lot of history. Would appreciate any and all suggestions.

Comment by CCR on April 24, 2009 at 11:23am: I saw that video, its aboard the USS Ranger huh? I love those sunset pictures!

Comment by CCR on April 17, 2009 at 12:21pm: Avenger I believe. Where's Connie???? Connie,don't forget to start a plane discussion. hint hint

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on April 12, 2009 at 4:15pm: A proud day for our Navy!!! Real pirate stories!

Comment by CCR on April 9, 2009 at 1:29am: Donna kept us posted about the airing, but guess what? I don't have Ntl. Geo channel, or the military channel. Only discovery and history (and only one of the history channels). And we are the mid-range selection, its not like we only have the basic. What a rip-off. I need to see that show, did anyone record it?
