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 IASmom on September 15, 2011 at 9:43pm: Does anyone have any information on ordering pictures the day of PIR? Thanks in advance!!

Comment by diannep on September 15, 2011 at 9:41pm: MaddenMaiden. You should be there long before 8:45! Get there EARLY! PIR starts at 9, but believe me...if you wait until 8:45, you will not have a good choice of seating in your division section....so go early! We were in the PIR hall by a little after 7.

Comment by MaddenMaiden on September 15, 2011 at 6:41pm: Does anyone know why the grad hall is open at 6:45 but we don't have to be there till 8:45?

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 15, 2011 at 6:05pm: Please pardon typos - on hubby's blackberry

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 15, 2011 at 6:03pm: Woo Hoo to our new Sailors! Already took a drive around grounds (outside of GL property, of course. Found a small park on shore north of base, touched the waters of Lake Michigan. LOVE this area!
