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 Ashia on March 26, 2011 at 1:24am: camenae, email me at hendley.ashia@yahoo.com and I'll help you out! :D

Comment by camenae on March 25, 2011 at 11:31pm: I do, I do!! I've been wanting to go back to school but all the different programs confuse me!

Comment by Ashia on March 25, 2011 at 9:30pm: I hope it's okay that I post this here, it's a really amazing education opportunity for military spouses!
These two programs that are COMPELTELY NO COST if you've never used mycaa funding before. They are both 6 months, and self paced. One is for a pharmacy tech and the other is medical billing and coding/admin asst. All your lesson pl...ans come on dvd so you can access them anywhere, even have instructions to put them on your own media device (itouch, phone, e-reader, etc.. ) and they send you all your books at no charge (as long as you send them back, but if you want to keep them it's $75 and you can write in them either way). They are certification programs (which means there is an exam, and the cost for the test is also covered!), and could have you in a very good paying job in as little as 3 months (he said you can go faster and finish early). Let me know if you're interested in more info!! :D
