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 Largefilipino on November 29, 2010 at 7:58pm: I just spent the past three hours looking at all the albums in Facebook's 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit page. There are some killer shots of the USS Kearsarge and some pics of the floods in Pakistan.
Obviously I was looking for a pic of my little girl but no dice. But it's like every hour I'm checking for new pics. It's absolute insanity I tell you.

Comment by Pat on November 27, 2010 at 6:17pm: Happy late Thanksgiving all. Hope your grandson gets well quickly Lori. I am glad they make an effort on the ship for the holidays but I am sure home is still never far from all of their thoughts. Kim said that she would just like to have a day off to do nothing at all. It sounds like they work or have classes or something every day. She just sound tired.
