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 Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on March 20, 2009 at 9:28am: It is always so excited to see one of our members drop by this room! I see and new post and say......who?!!!

It's been quite a year for our guys and next year Nick may even get to feel like he is in the Navy...once school is over.

Do you have a special "guest" next week????? Photos please!

Sheila ------I'm working on making that trip to MI !!! I know Linda said she is going to try.

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on March 17, 2009 at 12:39am: Okay - not quiet the NAM Linda but Nick did call tonight and he is holding #1 in his C school after a month of classes and got a letter of appreciation from the base commander! He's done a really great job!

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on February 27, 2009 at 12:29am: Linda that is awesome! Now...what is a NAM medal? Tell him a big congrats from us! That may help with his advancement as well :-)

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on February 22, 2009 at 1:55pm: Nick is 22 today! His one year anniversary is Thursday - so I'm thinking all of our sailors are coming up on their anniversary date!

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on February 17, 2009 at 2:24pm: Nick turns 22 on the 22nd but he left for boot camp on Feb 26th...he did not want to be in boot camp for his 21st birthday! Can't say I blame him for that thinking.
