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 Suzanne on November 11, 2008 at 11:26pm: I went over to the gdubmutha group, this may be an understatement but this is like so crazy just to get a Christmas card to a few sailors. Maybe its just me and my hormones are not working or maybe I forgot my antidepressent but like my youngest son would say (no names) "OH WOW!!!". Who knows LOL

Comment by Suzanne on November 10, 2008 at 7:40pm: Chris could you send the list attached to our privet e-mails?? I am not to smart at this but I was just thinking how everyone could get an up dated list without having it on this or any other web site.

Comment by Suzanne on November 10, 2008 at 12:51am: Living on the GW does not sound like fun however they way it is written did give me a good laugh. Thank you. I am going to print it and send it to Aaron and see if he can find the humor in it. LOL

Comment by Navy Mom of 2 on November 5, 2008 at 10:53am: Kat, I am so sorry to hear about you and your family's loss. Hugs to you and yours. God bless.

Comment by Suzanne on November 4, 2008 at 10:33pm: Oh Kat. I am so sorry it just makes me cry. How sad for all of you. You all will be in my prayers.

Comment by Navy Mom of 2 on November 3, 2008 at 1:22pm: Hey Ringtone's Mom, just read your post about your son taking the diving course, SO DID MINE! I can't wait to here back from my son to see if these two know each other, how cool would that be? Take care.
