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 JM-ISmomx2 on May 1, 2010 at 8:18pm: Mine is currently in Dam Neck, VA "C" School

Comment by Stacy (mom of Ruthie) on May 1, 2010 at 3:29pm: Thank you, JM :-)

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on May 1, 2010 at 3:11pm: I know that Darsete has talked about a Meet & Greet in downtown Orange, It is about in the middle of most areas, LA, Riverside, SD. If that works for most I will contact a resturant near by. Let me know who is interested.

Comment by Stacy (mom of Ruthie) on May 1, 2010 at 2:51pm: May 22 sounds good for a Meet 'n Greet in downtown Orange! My daughter returned 3/26 from a deployment on the Nimitz & now is in SD.

Comment by Jim's Mermaid on April 17, 2010 at 10:30pm: Hey everyone! If you've got a man on the Cape St. George, come join our group. There's only 4 of us and we are going to need each other on the coming deployment. Loves!

Comment by jadsmom on April 15, 2010 at 8:55pm: Dawn, what year did your son graduate from TVHS?

Comment by Amanduh on April 14, 2010 at 8:12pm: saw this in a magazine, thought i'd pass it on:

This year canvas on demand, a company that turns your photos into canvas portraits is offering a 16x20 picture to any mom of a deployed service member. Your sailor just needs to go to www.canvasondemand.com and register under "operation mom".

Comment by jadsmom on April 12, 2010 at 8:38pm: Hi Darsete, sorry for the delayed response, just got back from vacation. He went to St. Adelaide's.

Comment by jadsmom on April 1, 2010 at 8:42pm: Eric's wife, we lived in Temecula for 8 years. My son is also an MA, same class as your husband. Darsette, we also lived in Highland when my son was in elementary school.
