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 22, 2011 at 8:34am: al0251: I am a N4Mom veteran just on the PIR groups to help out with the other veteran ladies ...mine did PIR back in Feb 2010...so, no, I won't be going to yours! I think you will be fine for next week (I'm assuming you are leaving NEXT Wed??)...this week will be when any "action" is with the hurricane....prayers that it stays away!

Comment by diannep on August 22, 2011 at 8:30am: I will, Peruvian.

Comment by PeruvianMami (Ship11Div284) on August 22, 2011 at 3:15am: Can someone message me battlestations for ship11/ div 284

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 21, 2011 at 10:54pm: Dianne, I have a really good friend who just bought a house near Titusville, (not sure the name of the city) and I was shocked at the amount of insurance that they have to carry. It was outrageous!. They only got whatever the minumum coverage was that they had to have.

Comment by al0251 on August 21, 2011 at 9:59pm: @ diannep I hear you . Are you flying to PIR? I am flying from FL on Wed afternoon. Was thinking about hurricane If i have to drive all the way north to get a flight to Chicago I will I just realized today about the hurricane. God will be with us and Everything will be fine

Comment by diannep on August 21, 2011 at 9:50pm: AMEN, Candace.---and al0251---lots of prayers for us that the storm doesn't intensify and keeps turning more north north north! Facing a hurricane this week at the same time I have my oldest son trying to move back in here...just too much going on! YIKES! Citizens just reinspected my house last week...hoping to get credit for my new roof. Ladies, we pay a FORTUNE down here in windstorm insurance for these storms. I have now dropped all coverage of my "personal belongings" and just have structure coverage....and it still cost me almost $3,000/yr. Homeowners (separate) has gone up too...mine has doubled in 2 yrs. For me, it is almost $5,000/yr for the two of those...ugh...don't even get me started on the cost of auto insurance down here, even if you have never had an accident nor ticket (like me)... It is not CHEAP to live in S. Florida!

Comment by al0251 on August 21, 2011 at 9:36pm: thanks i am here in miami and hoping that everything will be fine. I just want to be in Chicago for PIR!!!!!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 21, 2011 at 9:27pm: Prayers for everyone in the path of the possible hurricane. ((Hugs)).
