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 Kathy on July 6, 2010 at 10:08am: We just got back home from GL. My son did graduate, we didn't get our "I'm a sailor" call until we were already in Chicago on Wednesday. They did BS21 Tuesday evening into Wednesday. It was an emotion ceremony, and we got to spend 3 fantastic days with him. It was so hard leaving him. Thank you to all of you, just reading the comments and making comments was such a great support system. Best wishes to all.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on June 30, 2010 at 11:21pm: Movie Theater: I can't answer for Great Lakes area, but the mall wasn't really that far - and I heard the bus system is pretty good because sailors going to A-School at GL use it all the time to get to the mall. Maybe go online and search theaters in GL.

Everyone: Have a wonderful time hugging your new sailors. It took forever for this day to come, and the weekend will fly by fast, so make the most of it!!
