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 salpetty on December 4, 2013 at 5:41pm: Great picture! That's my daughter's boyfriend on the far left.

Comment by salpetty on July 22, 2013 at 8:26pm: I don't think they have anything scheduled yet. See my post below to get on the Arlington Facebook group.

Comment by kikid70 Ship 13 Div 220 on July 22, 2013 at 8:17pm: Thanks. How soon do you think it will be before they deploy?

Comment by salpetty on July 22, 2013 at 7:35pm: No. But they do go underway often for various training exercises, etc.

Comment by kikid70 Ship 13 Div 220 on July 22, 2013 at 5:21pm: Has the USS Arlington deployed yet?

Comment by salpetty on July 6, 2013 at 2:45pm: My daughter is on the Arlington. There isn't a lot of activity regarding the ship here (probably due to the fact the it is fairly new). But the ship has a facebook page under USS Arlington (LPD 24) that you can "like". The Arlington Family Readiness Group (FRG) also has a facebook page/group. Follow these instructions:
