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 CCR on May 1, 2010 at 1:12am: yes congrats to Katie. Kathy, I seem to remember that video, unless I"m thinking of something else, but we saw them play on video in some port, that was it right?
Molly, I'm all over that picture. Have you submitted it yet to FB BR? AND DON'T FORGET THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE page on FB too!!!

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on April 30, 2010 at 12:09pm: That would be neat to see a video of that!!
Katie called the other night to say she got her ESWS pin, I'm so Proud of her for working so hard on this.

Comment by CCR on April 25, 2010 at 8:13pm: well, the Navy Live I just visited all the sites, I clicked on some sites on the other. I guess I'm at a loss. Which one asks you to join to read the articles? Or do you mean to make comments?

Comment by CCR on April 25, 2010 at 10:23am: thank you all for keeping me up to date. I saw this on my daily news.

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on April 24, 2010 at 6:32pm: Katie has a big map also that she's keeping track of. I was printing all of the stories about the BR when they have a story or pic on the Nav News or elsewhere.

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on April 21, 2010 at 5:38pm: Hi Everyone, well here is a story to tell your kids a lesson to be learned by all!! Katie had 4 days off well her Debit Card wouldn't work she tried all of the ATM's around and it still didn't work, so she had no money, she had no credit card no back up of any kind, Thank goodness for good friends because 1 of her friends basically paid for everything she did and anything she bought, she now owes them $600, I have ordered her a new Debit card!! I just hope she learned a lesson here!!

Comment by CCR on April 17, 2010 at 11:39pm: PS I didn't get that message either, but I've been at the hospital T W and Thurs. I did get the news on my navy.news that they were in J way back on the 12th, but probably on to the next location by now.

Comment by twoboys on April 17, 2010 at 10:18am: Thank-you so much for for keeping us informed. We don't hear much of anything from our son so wouldn't have any idea otherwise what they are doing. FB is also helpful. Thanks again.
