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 sjtina on August 11, 2012 at 11:27am: Welcome new moms. Hi Alykat!!!

Beth, October for South Jersey would work well for me.

Comment by Alykat on August 11, 2012 at 7:14am: Hi all. Try Residence Inn in Waukegan. Stayed there twice, once for PIR and once for a visit when he was at Aschool a few months later. Clean, very nice rooms, and in a good area. Partway between the Walmart / Ramada area and the base. Great breakfast too! The first thing my son wanted to do after he got out of PIR was eat! We went to a pub in Libertyville where he ate a big burger and we all just watched!
