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 Lisa FLNavyMom on April 18, 2011 at 7:32pm: 1ProudMom, I'm with you about the stock in Hallmark, too funny!

Comment by ochaos on April 18, 2011 at 6:15pm: Please remember not to send musical greeting cards or anything that might get them noticed for the wrong reasons.

Comment by ochaos on April 18, 2011 at 6:12pm: You can order her a NEX gift card online and sent that to her. She can use it in the NEX to get supplies that she may need or want.

Comment by 1ProudMomma on April 18, 2011 at 4:41pm: My daughters birthday is this coming Sunday. Is a Visa check card the best way to get money to her?

Comment by RaeEli on April 18, 2011 at 4:33pm: I just read online that a SR called home today in ship 07 div 178... has anyone else in this group received calls?

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on April 18, 2011 at 3:10pm: My son, the instructor, called this morning. He said the weather is snowy and cold and didn't want to talk about it! The sun is trying to pop out here, but the forecast for western Illinois is rain, hail, wind, more nastiness. Our thoughts and and prayers are with those that endured the 240+ tornadoes this weekend.

Even instructors have to be tested. He passed his PT test, so he's got 6 months before the next one. Push-ups, curl ups, and bike because of his knees.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 18, 2011 at 1:57pm: I hope everyone has a great week and gets a letter, phone call or even better both :-) Sorry I haven't been on here very much the last days I have had an unexplained fever and chills but I am finally feeling better.

Comment by 1ProudMomma on April 18, 2011 at 1:46pm: I'm also thinking I should have bought stock in Hallmark and American Greeting cards! ha ha. I've purchased more cards in the last two weeks than I have in 35 years of marriage! But she is soOooo worth it!

Comment by 1ProudMomma on April 18, 2011 at 1:45pm: Our family is driving to Great Lakes on the 19th from Kansas. We are so very excited and can't wait to meet the new woman that the Navy has made out of our daughter! Looking forward to being a part of the Navy family!
