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 DesertMom on November 9, 2011 at 11:42am: For those of you that have received the DVD and/or Keel: Did it arrive via the US mail or was it a Fed Ex thing? I just wanted to know what to be looking for.

Comment by sbarber on November 7, 2011 at 11:59pm: @ calbransmommy : That's great news. I know you must be relieved.

Comment by sbarber on November 6, 2011 at 10:15am: Morning ;-) I sat my clocks back last night LOL and when I got up this morning I was thinking I really got up early today LOL. Hope everyone has a great week. My son graduated A school Friday and is now off to Submarine school. 1 down 1 to go then I get to see my baby for Christmas :-) one happy mama right here.

Comment by tina41 on November 6, 2011 at 9:04am: good morning everyone!! hope you enjoyed the extra hour of sleep (for those of you who turned their clocks back) this morning!!

Comment by Piper174(class 1152b) on November 4, 2011 at 11:06pm: We got our DVD yesterday. My Mom enjoyed watching it as she couldn't come to the graduation.
I'm looking forward to seeing it again too. No keel here either.
Congrats to all that are doing well or have graduated from their first schools. It is a real accomplishment.

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on November 4, 2011 at 6:01pm: Yay!! Hopefully we get ours soon!

Comment by tina41 on November 4, 2011 at 5:32pm: hello all!!

we received our dvd! i got to watch some of what i missed since all i was concerned about at graduation was finding my son!! HOOYAH NAVY!!!

Comment by Monika on November 3, 2011 at 8:23pm: Still havent received the DVD or Keel book my son ordered.. hopefully i will get it soon. Glad to see they are getting delivered to some people.. I may have my son call the photo lab if I dont get it soon. Im getting so excited to see it! I havent been on here much since graduation. I miss my son so much! He is doing well though still in Great Lakes. My daughter who is almost 14 is keeping us busy which helps but its still hard knowing he wont be home for the holidays!
