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 lindalav on December 31, 2010 at 5:59pm: I was planning on her being here for new years and now have been informed shes going out - she invited friends over i bought food etc... I assumed I would spend the new years with her. Plans change I guess- I know I wont do that again!

Comment by d o on December 31, 2010 at 4:05pm: Couldn't be happier for you Karen. What a great way to start the New Year.

Know your pain Linda, my sailor flies back to San Diego at 7am tomorrow morning. I dread driving after such a little nap.

Ok, true confession. I loved having him here, but I thought it would be more fun since all his video equipment was out in CA. Everyone had lap tops and turned my living room into gaming central. Instead of interacting, I felt like I was interrupting.

I had one bonding moment when we looked at his boot camp album together and he explained all that to me (in a proud Navy way). I guess I'll have to hold on to that. Happy New Year Everyone!

Comment by lindalav on December 31, 2010 at 3:49pm: Finally some Fl weather!!! Got the windows open airing out the house. Nikki leaves tomorrow back to GL and life goes on..

Comment by karen p on December 28, 2010 at 12:00pm: Happy New Years moms. Stay safe and try to stay warm. I thought we all lived in Florida but I am beginning to wonder. My sailor and family are getting here tonight and I can't wait.

Comment by lindalav on December 26, 2010 at 4:40pm: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! My daughter is home from GL till the 1st so its been pretty hectic and chaotic but I really dont mind. Its nice having her home I hope all are having a wonderful holiday and will talk to you all soon!
