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 Gloria (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 25, 2010 at 7:44am: My son should arrive in Charleston today. We had a great weekend at PIR and now I'm anxious to see how he likes South Carolina.

Comment by lovemelissa on May 23, 2010 at 10:34am: my husband called me from boot camp yesterday!

Comment by Colleen in PA on May 22, 2010 at 2:43pm: When my husband was in the Navy, we had to keep our registation current (Licence plate tag) and not the vehicle inspection sticker(s) as we were not living in our home state of PA. We lived in FL, MD, and AK. I would check with the DMV and ask since you are active duty what their policy is regarding regist.

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 22, 2010 at 2:45am: well shoot sounds good to me!

Comment by Krystal(Trevor'swife) on May 21, 2010 at 5:24pm: Hey ladies! I got some letters yesterday from my husband and he updated me on the sequence of events. His PIR is June 11th....3 weeks yay!! He gets to SC that following Thursday and he will be able to come get me and the baby on June 23rd! Can't wait to meet everyone! He said me a paper with the basic moving info and stuff on it and it said that you get 1 day for every 350 miles and 1 extra day. I had heard that it was 2 extra days...did they change it??
