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 snowmanmom on February 20, 2013 at 5:37pm: lemonelephant I feel like I may be looking into a job feild as a vacation planner, this is a adventure in itself...LOL I will be happy to post our "adventure". We are trying to budget our trips due to wanting to visit our Sailor often and so we have done a great in depth study of the route and area we are visiting. I am learning to use the internet sites such as deal chicken, group on living social, trip advisor and many other sites to find "cheap" deals. I think we have done failry well. We also plan on visiting some of the places we thought about staying to have an idea ourself encase we go back to that area.

Comment by lemonelephant on February 19, 2013 at 8:10pm: snowmanmom (or anyone else), if you go down, be sure to post your experience in Graduation Info for Lackland AFB - Navy MA graduation; Places to s... since so few do go down for a visit or for graduation.

Comment by lemonelephant on February 16, 2013 at 9:39pm: meling21, LaQuinta Inn is very close. We statyed there last summer for my Sailor's "C" School Graduation. It was OK. It was not the cleanest, but that was due to a last minute check-out and them trying to go ahead and let us in.
