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 diannep on April 22, 2010 at 9:23pm: Dorie...kind of takes my breath away picturing that! Wonderful!

Comment by dorie on April 22, 2010 at 9:21pm: daughter was supposed to come home friday i thought but she surprised me at work in her white uniform happy day

Comment by diannep on April 21, 2010 at 11:38pm: He said that they still do PT, muster up, and have inspections. They do work detail. He said he and 6 others are at the "hobby shop." Apparently a place where they work on cars...not sure how much they do there. Just doing what they can hoping that they can leave soon!

Comment by maussie64 on April 21, 2010 at 6:31pm: Dianne, what is he doing in the mean time?

Comment by diannep on April 21, 2010 at 4:43pm: Maussie: Your daughter graduates this Friday, right? My son's a yeoman also. Many of them got through the self-paced program in 4 weeks. My son took longer...got stuck on Mod 4, the longest and hardest one! There are 15 of them, but the others aren't bad. Seems like the orders for Yeoman are very backed up. Don't know if that is the norm,or if they just had a glut of yeomen. He finished school April 1st...and he still waits...but he is hoping that next week is THE WEEK. Our children may be "passing in the night" as one leaves and the other arrives. Good luck to your daughter!
