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 Katze90210 (3/113) on November 4, 2012 at 12:44pm: sjnita. I promised my parents I would take them to see my sister in Maryland Thurs through Sunday because we were off of school ( I work in an elementary school) now were not. And to not disappoint my parents or sister I will have to use my two personal days to go. My parents drive from PA to Nj then I get in their car (because its bigger) and go to Maryland from here. Don't get me wrong I really want to go too but would have loved to save my personal days of which we only get two!

Comment by sjtina on November 4, 2012 at 10:51am: Katz, my daughters school in Hammonton is taking away Presidents Day and Martin Luther Kings Day to make up for Thursday and Friday.

mary, we had to use the car charger on Monday, but that was it. I cannot imagine still having to that. Hope your power is on soon.

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on November 3, 2012 at 7:04am: Our school is making use come in next Thursday and Friday since NJ Teachers Convention was canceled. They kids were supposed to be off the following Tuesday for Staff In Service but they now have to come in on that day too. I think they are worried if they don't make us come in then and come in spring break and we end up having snow days on top of Sandy days there will be no place to make up missing days!

Comment by marysuemcc on November 2, 2012 at 11:43pm: Thank you all for the " welcomes " - I haven't been able to get on much due to no power and limited to using my phone - soon as I have power I will be able to check in more often !

Comment by marysuemcc on November 2, 2012 at 11:40pm: I still have no power either ! But it is nothing compared to my friends in the shore town I grew up in during the summers - my prayers to all . Z

Been out of school ALL week ! Looks like I will still be having classes to teach in JULY at this rate
BTW - anyone traveling from NJ for 12/21 PIR ?
Forgive any typos - this iPhone screen is killing me - and I have to keep running out to car to charge it -

Comment by SheilaD on November 2, 2012 at 10:37pm: We're still out of power - glad to hear some people are getting it back. We don't really have anything to complain about - My heart goes out to all those who lost houses and more, especially along the coast! My prayers are with all those families!
