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 Tucson Mom (Ship 04 Div 817) on June 21, 2011 at 6:23pm: Ok, I drive a white Scion XB and I will be there at 6.

Comment by Charlotte(ship02Div930) on June 21, 2011 at 5:20pm: Ladybug....6pm

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on June 21, 2011 at 5:05pm: I'm not 100% sure if I can make it just yet but carpooling is a great idea! What time do you plan on meeting at the Target?

Comment by Charlotte(ship02Div930) on June 21, 2011 at 4:39pm: I will meet you at Target. I have never been before so meeting someone ahead of time would be great! Lets meet in the parking spaces towards Pier 1. I will wear my Navy mom tshirt and I drive a blue expedition.

Comment by Tucson Mom (Ship 04 Div 817) on June 21, 2011 at 1:51pm: Hello everyone, is anyone interested in carpooling to the VFW tonight. I live on the Southeast side and was thinking of leaving from Target at Harrison and Old Spanish Trail at 6pm. I'll check back later this afternoon to see if anyone is interested.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 21, 2011 at 11:32am: I think you are right. I won't be able to make tonight's meeting as my son is just home, but would like to consider going in July.

thanks for the info Ang!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 20, 2011 at 6:11pm: I wish I had known about it. My son just returned to Tucson today! as a navy veteran.

Comment by Charlotte(ship02Div930) on June 20, 2011 at 4:07pm: I think it would be a good idea. You are going to need alot of support when he is in BC. My son just graduated June 10th! He is just starting his A schooling. Maybe email the lady in charge and ask what her take is on attending before your son leaves for BC. She responded to my email right away.

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on June 20, 2011 at 1:50pm: Charlotte I would love to go but I'm not sure if its for me just yet. My son won't leave for BC until November so he's not really active duty yet. What do you think?

Comment by Charlotte(ship02Div930) on June 20, 2011 at 12:14pm: Ladybug...i am very new to the whole Navy thing myself thats why I thought I would try and get in a group. Click on the link that Ang posted and it explains Blue Star. There is a meeting tomorrow night....i'm planning on going. Would love to have another newbie with me ;)
