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 February 15, 2011 at 12:11am: It's across the street from the Old Red Courthouse! Make sure you don't take any pocketknives... my husband forgot that he had his with him, and they took it away. They were really nice and gave it back when we left, normally they don't.

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 14, 2011 at 10:20pm: I typed in MEPS Dallas, Texas. I would call first and make sure that was the correct place.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on February 14, 2011 at 10:12pm: Thank you , Brenda Sue. Every time I googled it all I got were businesses with the word Federal in it...

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 14, 2011 at 9:21pm: This is what I got off Google for you:

DALLAS, TX Federal Building
207 South Houston Street
Suite 400
Dallas, TX 75202

Phone: (214) 655-3200
Fax: (214) 655-3213

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on February 14, 2011 at 8:35pm: Can anyone on here tell me the address of the building where they will swear in at in Dallas? My son has asked his recruiter for it 3 times and still don't have it. I need it to mapquest it so I can find my way there next week. I am one of those drivers that you can't say "You can't miss it" to because I will! :)

Comment by TexasSailorMom on February 14, 2011 at 5:32pm: Got my letter, my son is in ship 04/ div 806. Now to send those letters!

Comment by P3PilotMOM on February 14, 2011 at 11:06am: Gracious, that photo reduced me to tears.... Healing for Brady I am sure.

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on February 14, 2011 at 10:45am: Happy Valentines Day Texas Ladies!!

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 14, 2011 at 12:36am: NO!!!!!!!! Eaglemom, I rely on your words of wisdom quite often! You HAVE to accept my deepest apologies!

I may even come up there to apologize in person! My great uncle is having a birthday party in Euless and I might just go - so that I can meet a bunch of you! What is everyone doing on Saturday, Feb. 26?

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 13, 2011 at 7:47pm: Eagle Mom, I accidentally deleted your comment about the picture. I'm sorry!!! I just was not thinking!
