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 Dodie on November 24, 2010 at 11:18am: I just checked the 10 day weather forecast for Chicago. It looks as if we lucked out...NO SNOW predicted through 12/3/10. Temps in the low 40's...brrrr.

Comment by Dodie on November 24, 2010 at 11:11am: Hi All, Rainy & overcast this am...Yuck. Packing this am to leave for Chicago today. I wanted to leave early this am to avoid the holiday traffic, but currently on call for work. Hopefully, they'll just let me off at 1100 so we can get started on the 4 hr drive. I haven't seen anything about the 2 divs that went through BS 21 last night. I know they did a great job!

Comment by Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on November 24, 2010 at 9:26am: I kept waking up all night. Also kept tossing and turning! Can't wait to ft my call!

There are lots of things going on here for me, step-dad recently in nsg home and mom in hospital since Fri...so I coldn't turn head off. But the bright side of my world in my recruit...soon to be sailor. Thanks for the sailor call info...I have my DDS this a.m. and doctor's calls I'm waiting for, so the info really helped me map my day out a little less stressfully! I'll be waiting at the phone like a puppy waiting for its master to come home! Tail waggin' and all!!! Ya'll have a fabulous Wednesday!!! And Happy Turkey Day to Everyone!!!
