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 crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 11, 2010 at 11:41am: Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...again.... NOT! Good morning ladies and GSpengleri! Even here in west Texas, we are getting the weather. It was sleeting last night. I will be flying into Milwaukee on the 25th and driving into GL. I too am very nervous about that drive. I dont do well with snow and ice. I am 37 years old and still so glad my mommy is going with me. I am praying for those of you driving the long distances to PIR. IT WILL BE SUNNY AND CLEAR! !% days to go and I feel like I have so much to get done before we leave! Hopefully I can get my surgery scheduled before PIR. Will find out this afternoon. Me and floppy Sue go to the Dr. at 2. Hope you all have a great day. Will check back in this afternoon.

Comment by RicksWifeAmber on February 11, 2010 at 11:14am: sg357~Ship #7 Division #103 ~ hopefully you will get mail today... I'll keep my fingers crossed and say a little prayer for you.

Comment by dreams on February 11, 2010 at 10:10am: Good morning keljacmom - You seem to get more info than I - and our sons are in the same division - so it's good to hear updates.

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 11, 2010 at 12:22am: RicksWife, nice to know that about changing rates. My wife would have loved to know that. She asked the recruiter and the Chief at MEPS and they both said no. She really wanted to be a drafter!
