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 11NavyMom156 on May 12, 2012 at 7:18pm: GwenB,

Thank you! The site is a little overwhelming for me. I didn't get on the site until last week and was so overwhelmed with emotion when reading other posts...I wish I had joined earlier but I will have to do some catching up!

I am concerned about getting a gate pass. Where or who supply this? Did my son forget to give me this information or am I to find it somewhere?

I also read we will need binoculars and we will be sitting on metal bleachers (and it will be cold.) I have a 2 1/2 year old that I'm worried won't sit still so this could prove to be quite stressful...I'm hoping for the best!

Meanwhile, I hear there is a meet and greet (actually more than one) and others will be wearing colors, bracelets or something to identify themselves. I'm really late on all this. But, do you know how everyone is identifying themselves?

Thanks so much!

Anna

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on May 5, 2012 at 7:40pm: We are visiting from Memphis & stopped at a yard sale down the road was a large flying flag, it would be cool if it was one of us :). And I want a flag like that. I gues I will google it. How far are you from Knoxville?

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on May 5, 2012 at 3:46pm: I just passed a big flying Blue Star flag in Knoxville off Tazewell pike. Is it a Navy MOM?

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on April 26, 2012 at 8:04am: Congrats Kim I know how excited you are. I pick my Sailor up at 3:15 today. He's only home for a few days then soon Deploys to Japan, and I thought Washington State was far.

No party for my sailor, I want to keep him secret so I can have him all to myself. LOL He's probably already told everyone.

Happy Thursday everyone, hold your hats on it looks like more stroms today!
