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 NC_Susan on November 3, 2010 at 5:56pm: Happy Birthday Mary! What a great day you are having :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 3, 2010 at 5:50pm: It has been a very exciting day. I filled 15 goodie bags for the Sailors on the Harry S Truman (N4M project). It was fun shopping for all the goodies and it just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside :-) And my sailor just found 15 packs of stickers I use for the ribbons at AC Moore near her base and they honored my rain check from NC :-) And I just printed my tickets for me and my honey's date night tomorrow to go see Jeff Dunham :-) ....... After the very sad week we had last week it will be good to laugh. I hope everyone here had a great day and hopefully you will be getting letters very soon. And.... I hope you have a very happy birthday Mary!!!!!!!!

Comment by Suzi ship012 div036 on November 3, 2010 at 5:31pm: Finally got home from work, NO LETTER! So, here I was feeling sorry for myself and mentally stomping my feet about it. . . . . . but, since it is Mary's Birthday, I will be happy for her instead! Happy Birthday Mary!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 3, 2010 at 2:03pm: OH, MY GOSH! Mary, I am so happy for you. What a wonderful birthday present. Happy Birthday!

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 3, 2010 at 1:59pm: YAY! My birthday present couldn't of been better! I GOT MY FORM LETTER!

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 3, 2010 at 11:35am: Jon's Mom.. another day has gone and with each day passing it is going to seem that it is getting harder. but at the same time it is getting easier cause it's a day closer we are to seeing our sailors again.

Comment by proudmom ship03 div028 on November 3, 2010 at 11:24am: Our son Jon was not the quietest when he came home, either. I miss hearing him telling his sisters to do push-ups so they would stop fighting. It was quite humorous. It is hard not hearing him or picking up his dirty clothes that he just left laying around.
