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."

when I googled for directions from my hotel...I just typed in the 3405 Sailor drive, Great lakes, IL...from my letters. It took me right down Buckley to the front gate.

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 23, 2011 at 11:45pm: Does someone know the address for the gate for PIR? I know that RTC has posted it, but I can't dig through the page to find it... :)

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 23, 2011 at 11:22pm: Doreen, I got that little flag necklace at Dollar Tree a few years ago. I was going to use the charm on a scrapbook page.

Comment by Doreen(07/272) on August 23, 2011 at 11:19pm: Where did y'all find the charms for your candle jars?

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 23, 2011 at 11:17pm: Jana, good to hear from you tonight. Glad your trip is going well! I have been praying since 8:00!
