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."

I hope everyone's Sailors are settled and moving onto their next chapter in the Navy with pride :-)

Comment by bluewarriorlady on January 19, 2011 at 12:00am: Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't responded. Computer broke down so I had to get a new one today. Haha. Hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on January 18, 2011 at 7:12pm: Hi all,

Just returned last night from a great graduation weekend with our grandson. Sorry I didn't make it to meet n greet. Was up entire night before...never went to bed, so I was a zombie when we arrived. We lucked out...grandson checked into his temp barracks immediately after graduation, then he was given overnight liberty until Monday! His knee seems fine, he's happy and proud, and so are we! He was told they would be moving him again in about two weeks.

How did you all like that weather? Brrrrrr.too cold for us Arizonians! It was pretty snowy when we left yesterday. We left from Milwaukee, but heard people couldn't leave from O'Hare. Wasn't much fun driving on the highway to the airport. I grew up in NJ...now I remember why I moved!

CONGRATS to you all and your sailors!

Comment by thingamabob on January 18, 2011 at 2:40pm: Redsmom - Thank you!

Comment by Tamme on January 18, 2011 at 12:29pm: Congrats, NS! Don't forget I live in Charleston if you need anything. My e-mail address is tsuggs@hsblawfirm.com We met many sailors heading this way.

What a fantastic ceremony. Weekend went way too fast, especially with having to take him back every evening. He also was so sick that he slept a lot, badly needed. I hope he went to Sick Bay yesterday because they were making them all leave each day from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. It was a blizzard when we flew out yesterday. Congrats to all! It was so good to share this whole time with all of you and I wish the best for all our Sailors.
