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 WhiteClay Ship 2 Div 913 on March 11, 2011 at 8:15am: @ Scott's mom - near the mall in gurnee is Outback Steak but doesn't open till later in afternoon. We went to Lonestar after hanging out in hotel with snacks so he could get a shower and everyone could visit & chill. There wasn't a big rush at Lonestar by the time we got there, and the meal was great, the service was wonderful and it served as our lunch/dinner which kept the cost down for our mob!

Comment by soliz53 on March 11, 2011 at 7:33am: Nope Im just going to ask him and see were he wants to go. We might just go to the mall in gurnee it's not that far.
