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 Christy on June 14, 2011 at 4:51pm: How cool. Wonder if everyone at the base got to join in on this.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 14, 2011 at 4:43pm: I thought you all would want to see this pic posted on facebook an hour ago. In commemoration of Naval Station Great Lakes' 100th anniversary, students, staff, and veterans participated in a "Living 100" on 14 June 2011. This event took place on Ross Field, in front of historic Bldg. 1.

Comment by Gidget28p on June 14, 2011 at 4:42pm: Wanted to let you all know that I just recieved my call from my SR. It was great to hear his voice, even though it was hard to hear him. He was talking really low and we had static on the phone. Hopefully those who have neot heard from your SR's will hear soon.

Comment by keger2001 on June 14, 2011 at 4:36pm: I just got a call from my SR and I was so glad to hear his voice and he said the same thing to me also, I only got to talk to him for 3 minutes, not real happy with that, he said he had to wait so long for phone it ate into his talk time..:(

Comment by diannep on June 14, 2011 at 4:16pm: The name issue is why I'm not on the RTC FB page. I just don't like that....

Comment by keger2001 on June 14, 2011 at 4:14pm: okay thank you

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 14, 2011 at 3:43pm: keger2001, you probably should make up a screen name. Sometimes, the RDC's can figure out which SR's are which, by coming on this site. There have been cases where they have said things to the SR's about something said on here. Also, if you SR is going through a security clearance, it might be best not to mention their names too.

Comment by Aussiesmom on June 14, 2011 at 3:41pm: So I am just wondering, is it okay for your name to show up when you are trying to win "Trivia Tuesday" then? You have to say what division your SR is in order to get their picture displayed. Why is that different than the discussions?
