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 wlbradford (Rota Spain) on May 2, 2012 at 9:57am: We're going in June. After long searches, we found it a lot cheaper to fly into Madrid. Our daughter is going to meet us there and then after a few days in Madrid, we'll fly to Jerez. Flying into Rota was completely out of the question!

Comment by janieflorida on April 29, 2012 at 7:41am: Wow two in the military, I know you are proud. I keep hearing how nice the base is. Stephen is a Master at Arms, and takes 2-3 courses a semester at City College of San Francisco. I understand there are college courses on the base also. We hope to go and visit next year. Thanks for all the info. Lots of rain here today

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on April 28, 2012 at 8:34pm: Wow...congrats to your Marine and your sailor for his move to Spain. My daughter is also a Corpman. She works in the hospital on base. She loves it. The base, the people, the atmosphere. All of it!

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on April 28, 2012 at 10:40am: Hi Janie. My daughter has been in Spain since late January. She loves it!! As far as the iPhone, she downloaded a free texting app and we use it since she now has wifi in her room. We also Skype and use Voxer. All are very good communication tools but tell your sailor not to put off getting wifi like she did. LOL

Comment by janieflorida on April 28, 2012 at 7:43am: Hi all our sailor Stephen is leaving for Rota June 5. He has been stationed in

California for 2 years. We are from the Florida Keys. I hear it's a great base.

I was reading the discussions about accounts for Iphones. We will look into it.

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on February 20, 2012 at 2:48pm: Hi Carol! I'm familiar with Voxer, my daughter and I both have iPhones. But doesn't that use her data plan? We were told that anything using her data plan would be very expensive while she's in Spain. Our carrier is AT&T and I'm really surprised and upset that they don't offer our military serving abroad any kind of special rates. Thank you for the info. And tell your son THANK YOU for his service!!
