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 Just T on June 23, 2011 at 7:58pm: sismommy.....We are at the Navy Lodge. From what I have read it is decent. and close! We were able to get a pet friendly room and they upgraded us to an effieceny.

Keger....I was joking about that today that if she were in a pic I wouldn't know it unless I got the magnifing glass out!!!!

Comment by keger2001 on June 23, 2011 at 7:35pm: Sandy, I can totally believe that, I see the random pics they put of the divisions on facebook and I would never be able to figure out which one is my SR, I think the only way I would is if he was in the front row..

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on June 23, 2011 at 7:21pm: Parrothdgal, I agree about the NEX, LoL. It is a zoo for sure.

I didn't recognize my son at PIR. They all looked alike.

Comment by keger2001 on June 23, 2011 at 7:16pm: No Ramada for us!

Comment by shismommie on June 23, 2011 at 7:12pm: Is anyone staying at the Navy Lodge? Just wondering how nice it is.

Comment by shismommie on June 23, 2011 at 7:11pm: Parrot thanks for posting the video.

Comment by trucka'smom on June 23, 2011 at 6:14pm: Thank you lala Ribbon Queen for sharing this video! Beautiful!

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 23, 2011 at 6:05pm: The flags spell NAVY... wondered if you could see that!

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 23, 2011 at 6:03pm: sheesh Sandy I tear up reading you talking about PIR...LOL Lindee...FORGET IT...you will have no composure! At PIR the lady in front of me had a daughter that was a RDC. She asked is your daughter there I said yes and she cried! It's something that will always be with you! My main word of advice is get in line early...know where you are going! I was in line @ 6:15 and got a front row seat! I could see my daughters face the entire time! Only other thing I would say is stay away fro the NEX...lol what a mess! Had to be 30x the occupants limit! LOL SI had to brag a little too...this is my Grandaughter Chloe wearing her Mama's cover! We were seeing her Mama off @ Midway airport after PIR 0100 UGH!

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on June 23, 2011 at 5:52pm: THE VIDEO WAS AWESOME. I had chill bumps as soon as I saw the flags. When the door rolled up.......OMGosh, I lost it. Thanks so much for posting and giving us Newbies a chance to try to gain some composure b4 that Awesome day!!!
