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 BluAnjel NoLongerNavyMom on May 26, 2011 at 5:39pm: awww Pamroy... mine was on LLD too for her knee, and now she thinks she has <gasp> asthma.. hope not! she said they get sent home for that. she's never had any probs before, maybe she's allergic to something, she's gonna get it looked at in a day or two. said she can't run :( I know what you mean about being there to take care of them, but mine's 20, so she's gonna hafta grow up sometime. Will pray for your daughter, too! Hope she's feelin better soon.

Comment by Pam T 09/213 on May 26, 2011 at 5:22pm: @blueangel.. yeah the '10 minutes' turned into a lot longer. I was afraid she'd get in trouble for talking longer.. but said they ALL were on the phone and would be told to get off when she had to. Found out she has been on light duty because she originally got hurt doing 'lock n load' but is ok now.. will go back to regular duty tomorrow. Made me wish I could take care of her.. but know shes doing ok and they are taking care of her.. and mama just has to pray for her and know shes ok!

Comment by diannep on May 26, 2011 at 4:25pm: MNSunshine. I just noticed that the creator of 7/15 downloaded a group pik in the last hour. Maybe try again. I'm wondering if the size of the pik is the problem? Can you try saving another one and downloading it?
