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 Tobianne on November 20, 2010 at 6:55pm: a lot of bases have information on the "adopt a Sailor" program. They should ask the Petty Officers or anyone that could direct them, maybe the Chaplains could help them.

Comment by RyanO-SailorMom on November 20, 2010 at 12:17pm: Does anyone know what local options there are for Thanksgiving sailors on hold for A school in Great Lakes that can't come home? Any families in the area hosting Sailors at their home for dinner, etc.?

Comment by HeatherMc(ship11, DIV 369) on November 19, 2010 at 5:28pm: Thank God for the internet! LOL ;)

Comment by HeatherMc(ship11, DIV 369) on November 19, 2010 at 5:27pm: School is out, but they have limited liberty & leave as they have been in such a short time. My son is staying in CT, and going to a big Thanksgiving hooplah that a sub veteran's group throws close to base. For this they do get to wear civvies & can consume alcohol if of age. Here's what he sent me, but each base may be different.we're on white card until we complete our quals, which we can't do until classes start, which means 2200 curfew, no booze, no civvies, 25 mile radius, then we go to yellow card which means we can drink, wear civvies off base, and have a 150 mile radius, and a 0000 curfew, and from there it's blue card which means we can wear civvies on base, and be back in time for class) .
