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 CRF230dad on November 28, 2012 at 10:21pm: Got 3 boxes shipped to our son on Monday. Hope he gets them in time for Christmas since they're underway again. Got a wake up call last Saturday we weren't expecting. It was great to have a couple of days to talk & facetime with him. @Dee Hope your son gets to enjoy Christmas dinner.

Comment by d0shir01 on November 26, 2012 at 5:15pm: That's just not right. Someone should have saved him a plate. He should have gotten to eat a Thanksgiving dinner too. I agree, he should either same himself one or ask a friend to make sure and save him a plate next time.

Comment by Dee on November 26, 2012 at 1:19pm: aww i mailed my xmas presents out last week and my son got them already that makes me sad because he will probably open them and still wont have anything to open for christmas i know he is not 2 anymore ...but he is the night baker and helped make thanksgiving dinner then went to bed and no one saved him a plate for dinner..he was big time bumed... just makes me sad told him to make a plate for christmas and put it in the cooler :(

Comment by d0shir01 on November 20, 2012 at 2:22pm: Thanks! We don't have a NEX near us. I checked with my daughter and she said we can use any international calling card. So I will get her something other than AT&T.

Comment by ReeRee on November 19, 2012 at 10:34pm: d0shir01- I found AT&T phone cards at the NEX, not sure if you would be able to find them at a gas station, grocery store or Walmart.

Comment by d0shir01 on November 14, 2012 at 12:56pm: My daughter wants me to send her a $25.00 AT&T International calling card. I have looked everywhere and cannot find one. I even checked with AT&T and they said a second party sells those. Anyone know where I can get one?
