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 Mayapple on May 27, 2011 at 10:56am: My son is in the class that started on May 15, 2011 and that is class 14-11. The fb link to that is below. I believe the next one starts on June 4, 2011 (15-11) and that there is already a family fb page started for that one. Don't have the link but if you become a member of fb 14-11 you can find it.

Comment by violet on May 27, 2011 at 9:28am: Pennymac, that would be 14-11.

Comment by lorilovely on May 19, 2011 at 2:01pm: Glad to be a part of this group, was missing the facebook page that is kinda quiet now! My son will be attending the first flight school in Alabama, but is residing with fellow grads on Lost Key Pensacola!!

Comment by Tiramisu on May 13, 2011 at 9:26pm: I absolutely LOVE Yankee Candles, so when I saw they were offering a 10% military discount, I was delighted. The discount is good until June 7th. My son is home next week, so I plan to try to drag him in there to get the discount for me. They have a beautiful line of patriotic candles right now and they're also "buy one, get one free." And, NO, I do not work for them. :-)
