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 crzygirl66 on August 9, 2011 at 4:43pm: i wonder if i could try my other halfs cell phone think they could answer there phones?

Comment by tesla was right on August 9, 2011 at 10:47am: from the CO (on fb page for jsm)

Friends and Family of the USS JOHN S. McCAIN: JSM arrived in Laem Chabang Thailand - A busy underway transiting through the Gulf of Thailand – the Thai fishing fleet was well represented the evening and early morning hours prior to our arrival. Our Bridge teams standing the Mid and Rev watches performed well – they had to thread the needle with a few contacts but demonstrated superior seamanship. Now a few days off.

Comment by crzygirl66 on July 26, 2011 at 8:56pm: i beleive theyll be out till end of next month is this correct?

Comment by tesla was right on July 26, 2011 at 10:49am: I stop by, but have no news to post. I pray all is well with the JSM. I do know they were in Hong Kong last week. Generally, no news is good news. I'll try to check in more often (though working longer hours for less $ like most of us in these days)

I was sure this weekend I would get a phone call but mine posted on his facebook that its no april fool, they're going back out (or they've gone)---I assume its to help in the north.
