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 cos333333 on August 16, 2013 at 2:07pm: I haven't been on much recently so haven't kept up with it. My hubby and I are still planning on it. I heard that the music city BBQ competition is done on 1st ave next weekend so may be rough getting around. Need to plan accordingly.

Comment by Jan C on August 16, 2013 at 2:01pm: Everything still a go for Lunch next Saturday? How many do you think are coming. Should be fun. Looking forward to meeting proud sailor families! We are going to make a day of it in the big city

Comment by tibbytab (J.R.L.'s mom USS IKE) on June 24, 2013 at 7:04pm: I hope you enjoy his leave time. I know they'll be so happy to spend sometime at
home!

Comment by Jeff'smom on June 24, 2013 at 1:38pm: J.R.L.'s mom- I hope you have a great time on the TC. I am teaching this summer, but don't think I could handle the steps or close quarters even if I had the time off. I talked to my son Friday and he is so happy to be coming home. His wife and baby will be in Norfolk when they dock and then will be coming to Nashville for the rest of his leave.

Comment by tibbytab (J.R.L.'s mom USS IKE) on June 22, 2013 at 11:50pm: Jeffsmom- my son is also on the IKEand this is his first deployment. We live in Roan Mountain, TN. I'm going on the TC this time and can't wait. Will you be attending?

Comment by michaels mom on June 2, 2013 at 12:25pm: East Tennessee Navy Moms now has a private face book page. Please send friend request to me at "Marsha DeJong Cleary (Morristown) and I will add you to the page. Making plans for our next luncheon! :)
