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 Kim of Virginia on December 19, 2010 at 8:21am: ctownnavymom, glad to know that your father is doing well. Don't stress, we have made it! Your kids will do fine with the work that you have left for them during your absence and I have a feeling that we are going to see a spectacular ceremony, so no worries, just enjoy the ride. Safe travels and see you Wednesday. We made it,,,,,,,, this was a long journey and many, many thanks to my 12/22 family for helping me through this journey,, you all understood when the rest of the world didn't. Thank you all and a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Kim

Comment by Terry_T_Tuckersmom on December 19, 2010 at 6:58am: Well ladies only three more days til we see our Sailors!!! We are leaving early Tuesday morning.When I talked to my son on Friday he said you can still see grass there ,so not too much snow.It will be good to get away from all the snow I have @home in Western NY (upstate).Hope to see you all there!!

Comment by Nancy on December 19, 2010 at 3:27am: Megan it is at the Ramada Inn from 6-8 (I think) with dinner at Anastasia's afterwards, look under events. I will see if I can copy and post under discussions.

Lisa, have someone fax them to you if you can.

Penny- OMYGOSH... your plate is full!! good luck with everything. We leave in about 7 hours from now and I THINK that I am finally packed with all Mapquest directions printed out!! Thank goodness for Jessica's (I think it's Jessica) list of things to have for PIR... I almost forgot addresses. Good luck with the sub plans AND grades, you have gotta be going crazy!! Hopefully it's NOT a standards-based report card, but I bet it is... :-) see you soon!! Are you at the Residence Inn?? I am, so find me if you are staying there too.

Nancy
