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 Tabitha on November 27, 2009 at 10:11pm: ok, so my hubby informed me today that he DOES NOT want me and our son traveling via public transportaton :P so, now i am looking into just doing a one way rental car (picking up at O'Hare dec 29th and dropping off in waukegan same day) and then again for jan 4th our day heading back. is anyone else doing this? I cannot afford to keep the rental all 6 days! And when he is with us i dont think it will be such a big deal :) any thoughts on this? even rentin a car just for the few hours both days will end up costing me around $215.00 i dont know how. When i book i will call directly and see if i can get some discount b/c this is ridiculous! LOL

Comment by Tabitha on November 27, 2009 at 3:50pm: Darna: you're correct! My hubby told me he will probably just take liberty b/c he wants to save his leave for another time we may NEED it :)
