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 25, 2011 at 10:11pm: Ditto Jenelle's info. I was born/raised in S. FL. Still here. Went through several as a child, and more since then, including the BIG ONE...Andrew. With the advance notice and chance to prepare, there is more safety than in other natural disasters. People need to be smart and heed the warnings though.

Lala, I know she may be scared...of course...but she will be fine and educated about hurricanes after that!

Comment by LilLady88(Ship 04 DIV 819) on August 25, 2011 at 10:11pm: Jenelle, that is very kind of you to offer a helping hand. I hope everyone stays strong and safe during this.

Comment by sleepgirl on August 25, 2011 at 10:08pm: al0251 Me either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just waiting for my call!! Then we can all breath a little easier!

Comment by al0251 on August 25, 2011 at 10:07pm: Siiixxxx days OMG can't wait!!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 25, 2011 at 10:01pm: Thanks Jenelle, I will pass this info on to my Sailor. She is trying to prepare but has never experienced this before. She is a tough Navy Sailor but I am sure she is still a little scared.

Comment by Jenelle on August 25, 2011 at 9:30pm: I just left a message on my son's 11/283 post. So for all of you in that ship/div

please read that. For those of you on the east coast...BE SAFE...Take the warning seriously....I live in South Florida and have lived through 4 major hurricanes...If I can help, please private message me. I have it down to a science....I would put your documents in a plastic tote and store in your car!

Homeowners insurance, bank records and any other paper work you will need.

Hurricane Wilma destroyed my barn, damaged my roof on my home and really devastated the area...but...we all survived...all the horses made it and I'm here today to talk about it!......Happy to help with anything....if you have to evacuate horses, bring them down here...I'll keep them for you!

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2011 at 9:24pm: mia: They would have gone with 282...maybe your sailor had watch when the calls were made? Does anyone know if all in 281 passed?
