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 Mark on March 25, 2014 at 11:17pm: You're absolutely right Dana :) - and I knew better too, that's what we in the business call a brain f*rt - glad you corrected it :)

Comment by Dana (David's Mom) on March 25, 2014 at 10:39pm: Thanks Mark. Was able to read both articles. My heart is so sad.

Comment by Mark on March 25, 2014 at 10:33pm: Sorry about the restricted link, here are two that are the latest and work. First covers a number of things but has a lengthy part about the Spiller family, the Navy Chief, some of whom are still missing.

Comment by Storymom on March 25, 2014 at 9:18pm: Mark, thanks for clarifying about the Navy families involved in that awful landslide -this is just heartbreaking and so very sad.

Comment by Johanna on March 25, 2014 at 9:05pm: RoTcMom, Don't even know how to comment. Thank you for letting us know.

Comment by Dana (David's Mom) on March 25, 2014 at 8:31pm: Mark, your link to the article doesn't let us read it unless we are subscribers. The USS Linclon is back east getting refueled. It's the USS Nimitz that is homeported in Everett (plus several other ships). My son is on that ship. Prayers.

Comment by Dunesmom on March 25, 2014 at 3:38pm: Thank you for the information on the mud slide. Such sad news and Prayers always

Comment by Oneofalot on March 25, 2014 at 8:55am: Good Morning to Everyone.

Comment by Mark on March 25, 2014 at 1:25am: To clarify, among the missing are members of two families, one a Navy Chief and two of his children and the other a Commander and his wife. They were still among the missing at the end of search efforts today. Prayers for the families.
