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."

My son's PIR is also 8/24 and I live in Bergen County. Are you flying out of Newark and what day/time? We have made arrangements to stay at the Marriott ~ hope the reviews are better than the Ramada which we originally had reservations. Hopefully we will see each other on the BIG day!

Comment by BethFromNJ - Doc's Mom on August 5, 2012 at 7:45pm: Hi everyone, I won't be able to attend the luncheon on August 19th since I'll be away on vacation. Fair winds and following seas to Maria! I'd like to suggest that we have a gathering sometime in October for our South Jersey Moms or anyone who wants to travel down or up this way. I think Cherry Hill or Bordentown are good choices. I'd be happy to plan it. If you are interested, send me an email at bethh2000@yahoo.com. and I'll start a list. Once I get some idea of some dates and places, I'll contact everyone on the list and got from there. Again, best wishes to Maria for a safe move! Navy Mom Hugs, Beth
