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 PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on July 30, 2012 at 11:08am: Hello all, my son is suppose to be checking this out for me, but does anyone know about parking permits for MA graduation? We are from Texas so many of our family members want to attend. We went this past weekend and my son had our parking pass at his barracks waiting on us but they wouldn't let us on base without a pass from our sponsor. Thankfully, our daughter-n-law had her military ID and was able to get us one at the visitor center. Big base, many entrances...make sure you use airmen entrance off of 410 South/Valley High.

Comment by lemonelephant on July 17, 2012 at 4:49pm: I think we have a great bunch on here.

Comment by chriscwick on July 17, 2012 at 4:33pm: Not like you! (bowing) I can always count on your help & it's appreciated!

Comment by Egratia on July 17, 2012 at 4:32pm: AH great to know thanks~ chriscwick and lemonelephant :)

Comment by lemonelephant on July 17, 2012 at 4:20pm: :o) You have also been a big help on here.

Comment by chriscwick on July 17, 2012 at 4:09pm: Lemon E - I knew you'd know the answer! Thanks, yet again! Hope you never get tired of hearing that.

Comment by lemonelephant on July 16, 2012 at 10:44pm: Another thing about mail. Sailors cannot pick up anything on weekends.

Comment by lemonelephant on July 16, 2012 at 10:32pm: There is a list put up to let Sailors know when they need to go pick up mail.

Comment by lemonelephant on July 16, 2012 at 10:31pm: Welcome, Harley69. No, they do not need a laptop. It does make communication easier, but he can do that with an iPad as well. Technology has come a ways and the iPad can do so much in a much smaller size. Wi-fi is free near the pool table. If that has changed, let me know. See the Discussions above for more details.
