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 Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 29, 2011 at 10:30am: are things all that less expensive at the NEX? I need some new luggage but can wait if you think it would be worthwhile Anyone ever shop there before? What do they sell there?

Comment by diannep on January 29, 2011 at 9:55am: Angie: You may want to start a MeetNGreet discussion up top with info and where questions can be asked.

Comment by diannep on January 29, 2011 at 9:48am: LovinMa: You may also want to check online for the outfits. Just google: children's sailor suits

See what you find.

Comment by SeabeeWifeDawn(ship 02 DIV 918) on January 29, 2011 at 9:42am: LoninMa, you can get the sailor suits from the NEX. You can also get the digi camo outfit too!

That is not fun about the hair, hopefully you can get it trimmed into something cute.

Comment by Junebug (Ship 2 Div 918) on January 29, 2011 at 9:39am: LovinMa--how much hair? I guess you could tell him she wanted her hair to look like daddy's! As for the outfits....I bet you could find them anywhere. Especially with spring coming they might be out more. I had my SR's 1-year old picture taken in a sailor outfit!
