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 Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 8:41pm: My3sons - thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I know I will be fine by his graduation. this will not keep me from going.

Comment by Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 5:57pm: Greenlo - Maybe I will have one ready for you when you get back from the airport!

Comment by Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 5:34pm: Greenlo if you get there on the 13th you can have one ready for me when I arrive on the 14th

Comment by Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 5:21pm: That is what I heard as well. Can we request it to leave earlier? I was debating if we should just drive to the graduation and not take the shuttle

Comment by Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 5:12pm: No phone call for me either. Maybe ship 13 is studying so hard that they don't have time to call! My son - study lol

Comment by Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 5:10pm: I can't wait until PIR. Thur. night Jan. 14 at the Ramada we all need to wear a N4M shirt and name tags or something so we can all meet for that drink or two but not too many it will be an early morning on Fri.

Be careful and have a safe trip for all of you leaving this week.

Comment by Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 4:24pm: Good luck greenlo - I didn't think I was getting old but I think my body is telling me otherwise!

Comment by Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 4:15pm: Thank You, I'm sure all will be fine

Comment by Cindy D on December 8, 2009 at 4:03pm: thanks greenlo, i was leaning towards not telling him now also. I guess I just needed a second opinion
