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 kathy on January 31, 2012 at 1:17pm: I am anxiously waiting to hear from my son about his power school comp exam! Praying that all went well. I am being told that I worry too much about him these days. Can't stop it! To moms with kids in tough situations, keep loving them. I have a 17 year old son with disabilities & teenage "young punk" stuff. It's tough some days. Hang in there. .

Comment by Johanna on January 31, 2012 at 1:08pm: Can't wait to hear how everyone does...thinking good thoughts!!!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on January 31, 2012 at 10:52am: Oh, Polly, your story of your FIL is so touching. My FIL was a gruff taciturn man with marshmallow insides. After my husband and I had been married some years, he showed up one day with a little white envelope and kind of tossed it in front of me saying "This is for you." Inside were his late wife's wedding rings. Meant the world to me. When my husband and I divorced he asked for his mother's rings and I said no. I told him I would put them aside for one of our children and would protect and treasure them but they were to me from FIL and they were precious to me. My husband said OK. I was so lucky with my FIL. I miss him still and he's been gone almost 20 years.
