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 liz on July 21, 2011 at 5:10pm: Thanks for that info! I feel a little silly! Another day, and no letter. Very disappointing.

Comment by diannep on July 21, 2011 at 5:06pm: liz: You're not talking about the Change of Command posted up top, are you?

If so, that just means that veryproud isn't on this site anymore and DiverMom

is now in charge of the group. If that is not what you are speaking of, SORRY!

Comment by ashngaly on July 21, 2011 at 4:22pm: Liz if you find out let me know. My fiancée is 04/819

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 21, 2011 at 3:50pm: I have also bumped up the Discussion about the Meet N Greet.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 21, 2011 at 3:49pm: Hi everyone!

Could someone from this group add the Meet N Greet to Events?

All you have to do is click on the date on the Calendar on the lower right on this page, it will take you to the events for that day. Click "add" and fill in the boxes.

Then everyone from this group may go there to RSVP for the M & G. ANYONE may attend...the Ramada does this for every PIR group as a courtesy, it is free. Those staying at the Ramada will get a voucher for two free drinks and they have a cash bar. They do not mind if you bring in a water or soft drink with you. The RSVP just helps them get a head count so they know how much food to prepare. But I am sure they make a bit extra!

Here is the info:

Meet N Greet

Wednesday August 31, 2011

Ramada Waukegan

200 N. Green Bay Rd.

When you get to the description box you may add a personal invitation! You can also add the info in that box again if you like.
