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 Julie on September 12, 2011 at 11:01am: Good morning 9/16'ers! Actually had a dream that I was at our SR's PIR, and I woke up crying. I'm SO glad I will be leaving tomorrow to head down to see him. I miss him more than anything. Kinda sad that there is no Mixed Up Monday, because I'm really good at that, I won't be able to partake in Wacky Wednesday. ): Hope you all have a great day and we get some more calls in soon! (:

Hope everyone has a terrific day. I am doing laundry and making all is packed that is needed.

Have a glorious day.

Comment by THOMASPNAVY on September 12, 2011 at 9:31am: Good morning all.

I was wondering where the meet and greet will be. Me and my son are coming up Wed and are driving from Midwest City Ok, it should take 12 hours. I do not know my way around and would like to meet the newest members of my Navy Family....I have butterflies in my stomach and I cant wait to get on the road to see my SAILOR!!!! I CANT STOP SMILING!!
