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 quiltblue on March 8, 2011 at 9:41pm: We just had Anchors Aweigh written on his cake... he won't be a sailor until the end of Boot Camp, so we decided to wait for a Navy Cake! He was surprised at getting a cake!

Comment by Brenda Sue on March 8, 2011 at 8:37pm: you can text ME and tell ME! I'm headed to church soon - so I can't talk right now!

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on March 8, 2011 at 6:59pm: Brenda... Let me know when the Bayport meet is. Please don't have it between March 28th and April 4th. I'll be in Md. settling my dad's estate.

Sam got his orders today. I don't know what I am allowed to say considering security. Perhaps someone can let me know.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 8, 2011 at 1:40pm: My ID pic is the cake they gave my son on the last day of work. I think they got it at Walmart or Kroger..

Comment by juliea243 on March 8, 2011 at 1:07pm: kelly in katy - I'm a bakery manager and a Navy seal is a copy right. We can't make an edible decal of it. You might have a hard time with coping it, but some bakery's have there own pictures that they have gotten
permission to us. You'll have to check around.

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on March 8, 2011 at 12:49pm: Thanks..I am trying to get every done .. It just seems like the closer we get to him leaving the faster time goes by..

But, I guess I'll start looking for a picture to take with me to the stores..

Thank you..

Comment by P3PilotMOM on March 8, 2011 at 12:46pm: Any supermarket or bakery can take a photograph and make an edible decal for the cake. It's not 3D but it looks nice. Just use the best photo you can get. You can probably get any wedding cake place to make a 3D one, but it might get pricey.
