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 reneec on May 9, 2016 at 10:22am: My son told me he put his father and I on the list for the Tiger cruise- he didn't have the exact date but I was wondering if anyone had any further info re what to expect and length of the cruise???? Just trying to figure out how many day to request off of work :) Thanks for any help!!!

Comment by BBS on May 2, 2016 at 1:43pm: Where can I get the ingormation for the Tiger Cruise ? signing up, etc

Comment by TJCsMom on May 2, 2016 at 12:47pm: BBS, yes this group is for the crew now stationed in Norfolk. I would think, if the cruise is an overnight cruise, the answer to your question would be no.

Comment by BBS on May 2, 2016 at 8:47am: Is this the group for Sailors in the new homeport?

Comment by BBS on May 2, 2016 at 8:44am: Can the visitors for the Tiger Cruise be different for each day?

Comment by taptap22 on April 27, 2016 at 8:30am: My son mssgd me that the Tiger cruise would be 15-16 July and only 2 people per sponsor. I'm super excited, would love to join him on this lil family adventure!

Comment by willsmom on April 26, 2016 at 4:51pm: I did ask Will if there would be a cruise, all I got was a yes. No dates, I asked again.

Comment by willsmom on April 26, 2016 at 4:50pm: Yes please, we must know :-)

Comment by TJCsMom on April 26, 2016 at 4:50pm: I'm a mom that came to this group from the TR. I was in the FRG/Ombuds group and on the email list for the TR. How do I get on the GW's FRG/Ombuds group and email list?
