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 Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on October 30, 2010 at 1:44pm: Hey all - often Hallmark stores have military cards in stock. I found a couple of really neat cards to send to my SR today.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on October 30, 2010 at 1:43pm: Hey Kathy - is our chat also viewable to everyone - if yes, is there a way to clear the chat space daily or something. Also, can we at some point go back and clear our Oct. 25 discussions - I was going through there today and there is a lot of information - Any concerns with this Jessica?

Comment by KLMkathy on October 30, 2010 at 1:00pm: I wish all of you would check out the most recent graduates, PIR 10-29-10. Be prepared to cry though. The site is beautiful and the music, well, all I can say is boohoohoo. Hugs to all of you. K

Comment by KLMkathy on October 30, 2010 at 12:58pm: Thank you, Jessica. We appreciate your great advice. K

Comment by NC_Susan on October 30, 2010 at 12:09pm: Nancy, Sounds great. Just let me know what to do. Susan

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 30, 2010 at 11:59am: Nancy, have a great time. We will miss you, but look forward to hearing about your weekend. Thanks for getting that together, I will check it out.

Comment by Nancy on October 30, 2010 at 10:35am: Ladies, I am gone for the weekend for a little R & R. Will be back tomorrow afternoon. I put info about shareable spreadsheets on the chat above. Look into igoogle. it's cool, easy, free. we all need an acct, but then we can ALL write on the same document if we invite each other through personal emails. So it is very secure. Think about it.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on October 30, 2010 at 8:31am: Jessica - I was able to open the questionaires - thank you, I'm all set.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on October 30, 2010 at 3:52am: On the RTC facebook page they have posted pictures of todays graduation (or I guess yesterday now). It is very cool:) I can't wait.
