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 Bandito's Mom on October 6, 2011 at 9:16am: Very good. Missed Nukes,,,,, my first thought,,,,, so classified, that they aren't even listed. LOL

Comment by BunkerQB on October 6, 2011 at 1:05pm: LH, thanks

Comment by lemonelephant on October 7, 2011 at 1:08am: Lady Hamilton, that table was created a while back and then I realized my error about a day after BQB copied, but it is like that in what she has posted and continues that way despite my request to post the link to the Discussion because I update the table every now and then and it is correct in the Discussion Ratings, A School Locations, and Links to Groups.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 7, 2011 at 1:11am: Bandito's Mom, check out Ratings, A School Locations, and Links to Groups. I think Nukes are covered there.

Comment by BunkerQB on October 7, 2011 at 8:53pm: Friday: 5:50 PM Pacific Standard Time Updated. Linked to lemonelephant's above Discussion now.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 7, 2011 at 9:32pm: Thanks BQB. (It should say "Ratings" rather than "Rating" in the link to my Discussion above and could you also change it in the Groups: Listed By Navy Job (Rating) Discussion of yours?) You are awesome and it has been great sharing this journey with you.

Comment by BunkerQB on October 8, 2011 at 2:26am: I think it's too confusing to have two separate files. Do you think you could incorporate the groups I have and reorganized into the format you have and add them to your spread sheet? We should have just one file. Actually, I think it should be input like the links to the list of PIR groups or the list of ship groups. Would you like to start that Discussion? After you are done, then we'll link the old discussions to the new discussion. You can't upload a spreadsheet to a discussion. You have to enter each individually. I understand if you don't want to do since it took forever for me to do the list for the ships.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 8, 2011 at 12:39pm: I'll see what I can do when things calm down.
