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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 17, 2013 at 4:41pm: I'm better now... :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 17, 2013 at 4:40pm: I have something to talk about (well say anyways):

Is Football over yet ((VBG))??

Drama...I TRIED...!!!!

My hubby usually has only watched the Superbowl in past years, so I am just not used to 7+ HOURS OF FOOTBALL on Sundays!...and now Saturdays. Oh and it was Mondays and Thursdays sometimes when the poor man could get home early enough.

But I am sorry I lost it this last weekend.

Sorry fellas, it can't be the ONLY thing we do together all weekend! LOL I don't blame him though, I understand about really being into something. I just needed a break!

(and no... I don't make him go shopping for 7+ hours at a time...I don't even like that! LOL)

Comment by ProudNavyDad on January 17, 2013 at 1:06pm: New to the website. I admit it, I'm a Dad and I am on the Navy for Moms website. Our son grads from RTC on 2/8/13, then on to Nuclear A school in Charlston.

Comment by Concernedad on January 2, 2013 at 1:59pm: Anyone got anything they wanna talk about?

My son heads back to base tomorrow. It has been a good visit. Wonderful how helpful he has been

Comment by Concernedad on January 2, 2013 at 1:56pm: Clemson finally won a freakin' bowl game! Can't believe it!

Comment by DramaSoul on December 31, 2012 at 7:59pm: Bad day...USC lost. No Matt Barkley. Sigh.

Comment by DramaSoul on December 25, 2012 at 12:48pm: Well said, AbbyBlue.

Comment by JackFlash on December 24, 2012 at 12:26pm: Merry Christmas all! Funny thing-- my watch quit working on 12-21-12. It really was the end of time! Maybe it was some sort of watchmaker's inside joke.
