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 SAFutureFC~ship 12, div 181~ on April 27, 2010 at 8:51pm: FYI: The weather here in Great Lakes is still cold! During the day it's not too bad except for the wind but at night it drops and the wind is still cold. I recommend packing for 2 different scenario's for weather, or just wearing something versatile. For those of you from the south, bring a good jacket. I'm from PA so im used to the chill but not the wind and i even say im cold most days. I was planning on wearing i cure flowy spring dress but over the weekend i realized Grad. was 2 weeks away and it wasn't looking like it was gonna warm up so i bought a long jean skirt & got a zip up hoodie to go with it, I may even bring my Pea-coat. Check the weather b4 you leave if you can, umbrella's might be a good thing to bring in the purse if it looks like it'll rain, you will be walking outside and it's not like just running into a store, it's a decent distance.

Comment by Karen (Ship 12 Div 178) on April 27, 2010 at 7:37pm: I am so excited next week we will see our sailors. I pray for all of them that this week goes good for them. It is such an accomplishment for them and they should all be so proud. I wonder what time we will get the calls on Friday. I hope all you moms/girlfriends/wives have a wonderful week
