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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 25, 2012 at 2:02pm: The amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) prepares to moor at Port Everglades. Wasp, along with four other U.S. Navy ships and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter are scheduled to participate in the Fleet Week Port Everglades 2012.

They're headed to New York in May, but I don't know if they're scheduled to go to Baltimore (Fleet Week June 13 -19). OpSail 2012 will take place in Norfolk June 1 - 12, with a tall ship Parade of Sail, concerts, etc - I've heard it's a great event - OpSail 2012

Comment by Donna_ship12_div029 on April 25, 2012 at 10:42am: When in June is the Baltimore one? My husband and I are planning on being in Norfolk the second week of June.

Comment by MarylandMom on April 25, 2012 at 10:20am: So does anyone know how many more they will take part in ? I know of the New York trip. I see there is one scheduled for Baltimore in June.
