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 diannep on August 6, 2012 at 1:27pm: You're welcome, proudmomma!

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2012 at 1:26pm: TXnavymom: See info on tshirts below.

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2012 at 1:25pm: OcoeeMom: Are you sure you can't order one still? But it may not make it there in time for PIR? I thought you could order them for a while--just no guarantee they would be at your house before PIR, unless they changed it and only take orders up to a certain point. Did you call Poseiden at 972-347-6655 and check with them?

dmcNavy: You can call the number above. These are the division tshirts that were designed by the SRs in that division. Nice momentos! Here is the website too:

Comment by Txnavymom(Ship7DIV259) on August 6, 2012 at 1:14pm: I am also interested in division 259 tshirts. Is there a link to order them?
Thanks
