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 Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 18, 2011 at 9:59am: Momof2: What a great story about the church. I hope my son is there on Sunday so that we can go with him. He told me God has shown me a lot.

Comment by momof2 on July 18, 2011 at 9:26am: We stayed at the Springhill Suites in Waukegan. It was close to everything. Each room has a separte sitting area with a couch and desk. It was so nice to just relax with our son. Try the Sweet Tomato. Aussiesmom told me about it. Go in and look around. They are very nice and helpful. The food was really good. Just enjoy the time you have with your SR. Our son invited us to church with him on Sunday. It was a great service and was wonderful to see 19 recruits go to the alter after the service. I was deeply touched. It was a wonderful weekend!

Comment by lil_mermaid on July 18, 2011 at 9:08am: What a great trip! Cant wait to do it again.

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 18, 2011 at 2:38am: Southern Mom: Thank you for the info on the Ramada. I have read that it is a problem in some areas and not others. I think if it is bad I'll ask for a room change as we are getting in very late Wed. night maybe we'll be able to change the next day. Thanks again. I hope you had a wonderful time at PIR
