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 beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on April 27, 2010 at 10:12pm: Sally Hanson has a spray on tan that works really well. :)

Comment by lovemysailor (ship 14 div 190) on April 27, 2010 at 10:07pm: mikesproudmom my legs are also very white lol :)

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on April 27, 2010 at 9:11pm: Ladies, I think a dress would be lovely; I'm planning on wearing a dress also, and agree with a sweater to make sure you're not showing too much skin either on top or on the bottom. I think you can wear a dress and still be comfortable. And I know it's about our Sailors, but I also think it's a graduation and we should consider that it's a special occasion. But I don't think they have regulations, so I'm sure there will be a variety of attire.

Comment by lovemysailor (ship 14 div 190) on April 27, 2010 at 8:45pm: mikesproudmom- i have no problem help you out. if i understand correctly you need to send me the name of the people in a private message and then i write that name in a letter to my hubby and he has it added on to his list! is that correct? if so i am more than willing to help ya just let me know what i need to do. the is only two people coming for him, and do you know if it is going to be hard for my husband to add people on the list??
