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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 9, 2010 at 6:56pm: Lynne can you please contact me about your ribbons? Thanks

Comment by Valerie (Brittany's Mom) on November 9, 2010 at 6:50pm: jck,
My daughter was the tall redhead right in the middle. The choir was facing away in the pictures that I saw and all I could see of her was the side of her face. I'll look again and see if I missed any. Thanks

Comment by Lynne on November 9, 2010 at 6:45pm: There are four: Naval Air Station Pensacola, Corry Station, Saufley Field and Whiting Field

Comment by shinertxgal(ship 7 div 358) on November 9, 2010 at 6:04pm: How many bases are there in Pensacola? I forgot to ask my son the name of the base he is at. He had watch duty Sunday, the day after he arrived. He said it is cold there lol. He isn't sure when he will start his school, just hanging in there until then. It was so amazing to see him and to get to spend a little bit of time with him. I only wish we would have gotten to have him with us on Saturday, but I cherish the few hours we had Friday and then on Saturday before his flight left at 6:30am. I have never witnessed anything so amazing and wonderful! I wish all family members could be there to witness it.

Comment by Lynne on November 9, 2010 at 4:01pm: Hey all I was sent this notice...if you like me sent pictures and DVDs this weekend beware...

Please help me to spread the word, i'm trying to reach as many mom's as possible.

INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the holidays coming up, I can see where this could be a real problem.

The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex/USPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an e-mail from UPS, Fed Ex, or USPS along with a packet number. It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This virus has caused millions of dollars in damage in the past few days. Snopes confirms that it is real.
