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 January 13, 2010 at 5:11pm: Stormcloud - I am so sorry to hear about the drama. We have a little drama going on on my end and I had to sit everyone down and tell them that this is about Mike and that everyone is going to get along as adults. But an ex-wife - wow that must be ruff.

Comment by Cindy D on January 13, 2010 at 3:45pm: Lori - you and Eric are still in our prayers.

Comment by Cindy D on January 13, 2010 at 3:40pm: Charlotte - That was so nice it brought tears to my eyes (AGAIN).

Comment by Cindy D on January 10, 2010 at 7:51pm: Thank you Patricia - I figured so but just checking.

Comment by Cindy D on January 10, 2010 at 5:36pm: Margaret - After the PIR the sailors have to check in and do whatever and it may take 2-5 hours right? Can we wait on base for them? Will there be a shuttle to bring us back to the hotel? Can my son ride the shuttle?
