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 kimberli61 on January 3, 2011 at 12:36pm: Hey all!! I don't know about you....ahh, YES I DO!......my feet aren't touching the ground, I can't concentrate on the littlest thing, and all I want to do is jump in the car right now and hang out at the gate like I did when I was a teenager waiting for concert tickets!! :)...I'm sorry for the late reply on the Meet and Greet, I would like to RSVP if it's the one at the Ramada Inn. That's the one I was told about and why we made reservations there...please let me know if this is correct as I can't wait to meet you all!!

Comment by diannep on January 3, 2011 at 12:20pm: Theresa: Yes, strollers are allowed, but discouraged for space sake. But they are allowed and are there. What many did when we were there was: Before the ceremony, they took the kids down to the far end of the hall and let them run around...I loved watching them...many were in little Navy outfits and so adorable! I'm sure if you do this, someone there will save your seats for you...N4M's are like that, you know??? HA! This is such a happy time...for all....and the little kids are all a part of it! He'll be fine!

Comment by NavymomGG on January 3, 2011 at 11:30am: Kimber..That is great..Count me in !!! Thank you for thinking of it and taking care of it !!

Singing Happy Birthday to our "Sailors" as a group, regardless of when their birthday actually is or was, is a perfect example of what you are all talking about with regards to "feelings" and intuition..It is the "energy" we send out and whether we realize it or not, we all feel it from each other,ESPECIALLY those we Love and are connected to.. When it's good, It's like a big, energetic hug !! So important to try and keep it positive !!
