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 joankf Ship11 Div 181 on April 13, 2011 at 9:06am: Thank you laurelbc for making the date and division changes! Now the only change left is for BunkerQB to change the date to 5/26 on the Main Page.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 13, 2011 at 7:12am: also 1fireteam if you delete it from your inbox or your sent box it only deletes your copy, not the one to your friends.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 13, 2011 at 3:03am: Questions -

If one of my friends leaves me a message in my inbox, who sees it?

When I reply, who sees it?

If I reply, send, and then delete, did it negate the "send"? In other words, did it not get sent.

Sorry, new to all this. I don't twitter or have a FB account.

I try to be careful what I write. I absolutely love the support here and want to converse with my "friends" but want it to stay as private as possible with them if it is a personal message. I understand that when I post on forums or groups that anyone can view. I've done the settings on my page for privacy . Just was not sure how inbox works.

Thanks for the help.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 13, 2011 at 2:26am: laurelbc - Thank you for your work with the site. It looks great!
