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 elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on October 11, 2010 at 12:29pm: Hi Grammy- At what point of his schooling is your grandson in? Is he also from California?

Comment by Grammy Ship 13 Div322 on October 11, 2010 at 12:18pm: Elizabeth77- We also spent a wonderful day in San Francisco for Fleet Week. It was fun seeing all of the sailors walking around town BUT made us miss or grandson in SC. We live east of SF but I work in SF.

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on October 10, 2010 at 10:05pm: Just got back from a wonderful day at Fleet Week in San Francisco. Rare 85 degree weather right on the water. The Blue Angels were spectacular! Feeling very lucky to live just 20 minutes north of the city. I miss my son. Would have really enjoyed the day with him. I called him so he could hear the deafening sound of the aircraft. He appreciated it but said he had to go back to sleep as he had to stand watch his third day in a row from 10pm to 6am. Oh well.

Comment by Proud_Wife on October 10, 2010 at 9:07pm: Heading to SC now. Coming from CA. We're in Nebraska now. We hope to make it there by Thursday. We'll be spending a couple nights in Missouri visiting family. I hope to meet some of you ladies when I get out there!!

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on October 1, 2010 at 1:50pm: Bravo Zulu to those sailors who graduated A school this morning! I'm now on the countdown until my sailor and daughter in law and granddog arrive home on leave!

Comment by RaeBear on September 30, 2010 at 3:16pm: Okay, I have a question! <3 I read on the Balfour Beatty Community website's Residents Guide where it said that "All homes are fully equipped with standard appliances." What, exactly, does that include? Does it include, in particular, a microwave?

I just want to know what I might need to make the house a "home." Thanks. <3
