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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 22, 2012 at 6:05pm: We are getting thunder right now, so I think it's coming this way. :(

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 22, 2012 at 6:03pm: We are now in rain. That still slow us down and make for a not fun beach vacation. I hope it doesn't last long. I have to drive to Orlando tomorrow to pick up my sailor. Hope her flight isn't delayed.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 22, 2012 at 5:50pm: Lala, I was going to ask about the rain too because I saw that NC was getting a lot of rain. Be careful!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 22, 2012 at 5:48pm: As soon as we crossed the Fl line out started raining but it haas stopped now. I hope that storm moves away quickly.

Comment by diannep on June 22, 2012 at 5:38pm: GinaLuv: I have a feeling that the block writing they used, where all of them write so much neater....thinking they are told that if they don't write that way, their letters are going nowhere! I was shocked when I went to the mailbox and received my son's first letter when he was at bootcamp. Couldn't believe that was his handwriting!

Lala, are you hitting any rain? We have had rain all day down here in S. FL and more is expected. Storm in the Gulf is producing lots of waves of rain!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 22, 2012 at 5:26pm: Sorry stupid smart phone. If possible make it a two day trip up and back. :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 22, 2012 at 5:25pm: Hi all, we will cross the FL line in 10 miles YAY!!! We got a late start this morning. I stayed up way to late or should I say early lol. It was 4 am. So I have been napping a lot lol. We are all ready to be there. Jessica it is great to see you here. I hope you are feeling better. Gina that will be a long drive. We did it from NC. If possible
