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 April (proud mom of Bailey) on October 28, 2013 at 1:01pm: I currently have an SR on week 2 day 1 of Boot camp. So she had been there three weeks already. Been very fortunate her division has been able to call two Saturdays in a row!! Her PIR is 12/6, so we will be flying from Fresno to Chicago to see her graduation and spend that all important liberty with her. She has already been told she will fly out to A school in Florida on Sunday as opposed to Saturday after PIR.

Thanks for setting it up Pay, I pray that all of our new Mom's will make it. This is such an important group for all of us. Please try if you can - you won't be sorry. I would be there if I could - work.

Comment by Vickyrun on October 23, 2013 at 12:56pm: sylviar14, check with Molly's Adopt a Sailor project. In order to do cards you must have vaild addresses to send them to. The miltary doesn't acept anonoymous cards for security reasons. If you see the plea to send cards on Facebook, that is a hoax.

Comment by Paymaster on October 22, 2013 at 3:55pm: Ok, I have set a Meet and Greet up for Nov 9th. It is very important that you RSVP to this event. As I will need to make reservation for seating. Please go to the Bulletin Board, and click on "Farrell's Meet and Greet. This will allow you to mark your attendance. Hope to see all of you on the 9th!
