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 lemonelephant on March 22, 2011 at 1:23pm: I learn so much more about my children now that I have Facebook and can check on them there.

I found out last week from Angie about HM moving to SA. I had posted the A School locations and she said that was coming.

Comment by Hunters_Mom_12/092_MAA on March 22, 2011 at 12:15pm: Yep - facebook is informative when it comes to my children. I ask questions and the response is "didn't you see my update/pictures on facebook?" Haha

One mom I am corresponding said she found out that all after 4/17 all hospital corp training is convening to SA? I told her the opposite. Hunter's close friends are corpman from BC were under the impression they would be going to SA for A school and are in GL...now it is reversed. Ah, I love learning! It is the confusion in between that fortifys the "bumd blond" stereotype! ;~)
