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 tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on July 19, 2010 at 9:03pm: They also have a shop to buy the jelly belly candy and souveniers.

Comment by m'smom on July 19, 2010 at 8:55pm: My sister lived in Kenosha for a couple of years. We only visited once when the kids were little (Ithink my son was in pre-school). How did we miss this one? May have to regress a little and stop this trip!

Comment by tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on July 19, 2010 at 8:52pm: The Jelly Belly Factory tour is real nice. We went to Wisconsin for vacation and on the way we toured the Jelly Belly Factory. Yes, you get free samples. ;-)

I was curious what week this will be for our SR's?

Comment by m'smom on July 19, 2010 at 8:45pm: I heard there was a Jelly Belly factory just north of the base. They are reported to give samples at the end of the tour!! I was thinking of googling this to see what is really there.

Comment by diannep on July 19, 2010 at 8:31pm: nikosmom: My friend and her Navy son/group went to the aquarium, said it was pretty neat. They enjoyed it. The Navy Pier was not really an option for us when there because it was winter. Mine was GradNGo, so with limited time, we didn't do anything really special...plus it was TOO COLD outside! But being summer, there probably is tons to do! Did you google activities in Chicago and see what comes up?

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on July 19, 2010 at 7:01pm: Hi Anita, my daughter is also on ship 6 div 941. Welcome to our little navy family :-).

Comment by Jophers(Jo- Cameron's mom) on July 19, 2010 at 6:26pm: Hi Anita, my son is also on ship 6 div 941, welcome and look forward to sharing this journey with you

Comment by Anita ship 6 div 941 - Joshua on July 19, 2010 at 6:12pm: Joshua is my youngest...although not the first in the Navy...his dad was in for 8yrs and currently our older son is a Navy Nuke recruiter in Missouri....Glad to be a part of this group...thanks for the welcome.

Comment by trisha on July 19, 2010 at 5:52pm: Welcome! My son is also in the 941 division. I think you will find this group to be a lifesaver, has been for me so far. Nice to hear from the other moms.
