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 September 25, 2011 at 1:39am: Hello!

I've made some changes to the group.

All of the information that was in the “Pages” section is now in the Discussion Forum area. This is where I used to post it. Pages was a new feature…I tried it for a month and guess what?

I don’t like it.

So I asked another veteran mom and she didn’t like it either…I decided to quit there while I was ahead!

Please feel free to scroll through the Discussion Forums. Don't worry all of your discussions are still there...it only allows 20 max viewed at a time.To see all of the Discussion Forum info click “view all” at the bottom right hand corner of the Discussion Forum area.

Oh, if you had comments I transferred them with the posts.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 24, 2011 at 9:28pm: Sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of days. I was working on ribbons all day yesterday and we had a yard sale fundraiser for the High School senior trip today. We have 2 seniors this year and that means we need every fundraiser we can get lol. As I heard one mom say today "I'm just plum tuckered out" lol. I am not at all sure how I did not end up with the NC southern accent :-)
