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 LauraS on April 13, 2011 at 2:24pm: @ckared-thanks-went to the website and the triple steakburger looks perfect for my sailor. We live about an hour away from Portland, OR and my son was a BIG fan of Red Robin.

We leave from Portland tomorrow morning and I am already crying...so proud of my baby!

Congrats to all of our new sailors!!

Comment by ckared716 on April 13, 2011 at 2:01pm: Red Robin burgers are much much better but more pricey. We use to live in Idaho and went a lot but not one close enough now to go.

Comment by ckared716 on April 13, 2011 at 2:00pm: lauras

Live in Fl and have a lot of steak n shakes they are reasonably priced and the burgers are really good. My Sailor loves to go there and is looking forward to going again. Go to the website and look at menu.

Comment by Zacksmom on April 13, 2011 at 1:45pm: Gonna be a bitter sweet weekend... I was just informed by my ex mother-in-law that my son's Great Grandfather passed away 3 weeks ago and they didn't tell him in fear it would disrupt his progress in BootCamp... They are going to tell him this weekend... He really looked up to his Great Grandpa....
