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 Maine Mom on July 12, 2011 at 6:57pm: Yeah!! It's getting closer now-I don't want to rush the summer away but I am sooooo looking forward to Aug. 5th!

Comment by amberrose on July 12, 2011 at 6:53pm: I wanted to share with everyone that there are only three PIR groups ahead of us (including the one this Friday), and four PIR groups behind us! (saw some talk about a September PIR just this afternoon...the 4th group now forming behind us). We are getting closer and closer!

Comment by diannep on July 12, 2011 at 1:36pm: I have read on the site today that downloading firefox or safari gets you onto the RTC website. However, I do believe they will "tweak" it so that it can be run on IE also. So I'm waiting before doing anything else. Someone posted that RTC FB said they will post when all is complete.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 12, 2011 at 11:15am: I tried the new site with the https and it my computer said it was an untrusted site. So I'm not sure what is happening but I am sure they will have the problem fixed very soon.

Comment by bobbie (ht mom) on July 12, 2011 at 10:42am: THATS ALL I HAVE ON MINE opps sry bout caps had them locked in

Comment by amberrose on July 12, 2011 at 10:36am: it is a secure server, so maybe that is why computers are freaking out. have you tried anything other than internet explorer?
