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 April 17, 2010 at 11:28pm: Vicky, I thought I had all the old posters. I've not seen that one. Is it on the Navy History and Heritage on FB?

Comment by CCR on April 17, 2010 at 11:27pm: From the Navy News Service

1848 - A Navy expedition to explore the Dead Sea and the River Jordan, commanded by Lt. William F. Lynch, reaches the Dead Sea.
1906 - The Navy assists in relief operations during the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
1942 - USS Hornet (CV 8) launches Doolittle's Army bombers for the first attack on Japan.
1988 - Navy destroys two Iranian drilling platforms and a frigate in retaliation for attack on USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG 58).

I LOVE the part about Doolittle. My grandpa has a picture of him and his airplane (grandpa was in the aviation industry) at a (oh, what do you call it? its a race!) I can't think of what they called the airplane races they had back then. Old timers.

Comment by CCR on March 25, 2010 at 9:17pm: I don't have any of the premium channels, but the Military channel is costing plenty. I'd love to hear, thanks for asking and letting us know about it.

Comment by KatK on March 24, 2010 at 2:35am: Has anyone been watching the miniseries The Pacific on HBO? Can someone give me a review if they are?

Comment by Scott Proud Dad of Brian on March 21, 2010 at 11:46pm: Yes I know "so little time!! LOL " I've been on Navy TV a lot lately.

Comment by CCR on March 21, 2010 at 11:43pm: Thank you for sharing Scott. I know we had a post looking for anyone who might have been on the Ajax, but there are so many resources, and so little time!! LOL

Comment by Scott Proud Dad of Brian on March 21, 2010 at 10:53am: On the Ajax, I will have to check but I think that my Dad was on her around that time. will have to go through his stuff as he passed away 9 years ago.

Comment by CCR on March 21, 2010 at 9:53am: Does anyone know what happened to Abby Blue OK's comment about the Ajax? I was hoping she found something about it.....
