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 cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on March 4, 2014 at 9:02pm: Hey group, I have been crazy busy lately, My daughter was found on February 7th in the snow, she suffered from hypothermia and frost bite. Her feet have been a mess and we have had several trips to doctor appointments. Early on we thought she was going to loss toes if not more, but things are looking up and I think she will be able to keep everything, she is lucky that she is not a smoker and that she is young and healthy.
Gregory is home right now, he graduated from A-school on February the 26th. and will be going to Meridian, Mississippi on the 9th. Bryce is now in Maryland and it sounds like he is loving it. How are all of your kids doing??
