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 Proud_Wife on October 21, 2010 at 6:25pm: I live off Jefferson

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on October 21, 2010 at 6:01pm: elaine - my son and DIL live on Jefferson Ave and she's out walking their dog 2-3 or more times a day. I don't know if you live close to there but my DIL has met some of her neighbors because of the dog walking duties. I'm sure she still gets lonely though since my son has been in A school. He's on t-track now waiting for Power School so they have more time to do things together. BTW they are both 22 years old.

Comment by elaine<3 on October 21, 2010 at 5:26pm: yeah i've noticed that too. i live in the older houses as well.

Comment by Christina on October 21, 2010 at 4:28pm: I don't think anyone goes outside either. It was a good 2 months before I even saw the people across the street from me. I live in base housing also. The old housing. In the newer housing people seem to be more out and about when I go through there.
