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."

All my prayers and thoughts are with all of our SR's....

Comment by judyb on May 5, 2011 at 12:34pm: @ Soh@ppy - Please do go to the meet and greet! I am sorry that you feel isolated, but you're not!! You are as much a member of this group as any other person. Please go!! I am hoping that I can make it. Our flight arrives at 6pm, and by the time we get the rental car, and drive in, we may not get there until a little before 8pm.... But, I will go, even if it's just for 15 minutes! Please everyone, don't leave early :)

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on May 5, 2011 at 12:08pm: So close ladies can we handle this last week?

Comment by beacon56 on May 5, 2011 at 11:20am: sorry, CRSmom, that you will not be able to attend. Soh@ppy@proud!ship, sorry to hear about the set back... but out of adversity comes excellence! I certainly hope you do attend the Meet and Greet, i know I will probably be dog tired, but I would not miss it for anything! PIR is getting soooo close!!!!!! can't wait to see my son!!! (Ship 02 Div 926)

Thanks to all that have provided such wonderful advise, support and humor!!
