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 Gloria P. on July 4, 2009 at 6:21pm: Wishing all a happy 4th

Comment by schotzi on July 3, 2009 at 8:26am: Sandra:

We're very close geographically! Is your son out of high school or did he spend some time before he joined? Chris has a friend that went to Harrison HS but would have graduated in 2003.

Comment by Gloria P. on July 1, 2009 at 4:46pm: I'm glad you ladys enjoyed the video and Karen J thankyou he not that bad looking lol.

Comment by schotzi on July 1, 2009 at 10:23am: Hey All -- I've been lurking -- posted once -- but now I realize it was on June 17 -- time does fly doesn't it. My son's PIR is July 17 -- so only two weeks to go -- haven't had much contact with him but a few weeks ago got a half hour phone call -- just curious how he's done the last few!

I'm also from Westchester County, Ang, Briarcliff Manor. Where are you from?

Hope all is well with all your boys and girls -- or should I say men and women!

Comment by Gloria P. on June 30, 2009 at 11:16am: To my New York Moms & Dads enjoy!!!!!!!!
