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 FlowerGrower05 on July 29, 2012 at 11:11am: Diannep - did you do the post that had the comment in it about what your Grandpa asked your Grandma to write to him in his letters? I am trying to find it again I really loved what it said and what to encourage my sailor with it?

If it wasn't you and anyone else remembers, please let me know. There was also a message with a link to find other encouragement you can use.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 29, 2012 at 9:03am: Good Morning everyone, Today is my baby boy's 19th birthday. It is also our Family Reunion today as well. Just what every 19 yr old wants for his birthday right? lol. My oldest son is home for the weekend as well. Just wish our Sailor could be here too. We will be spending the day with lots of family in the Pisgah National Forest so I will be away most of the day. I will be back later this evening. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. Go out and do something fun :-) YOu can always crash our party lol.
