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."

I am a new Navy Mom and heard about the USS Kidd Tiger Cruise next month (February.) I cannot find any information on preparing myself to attend. Can anyone help me? I really appreciate it!

Comment by goldfishtiger on January 10, 2012 at 2:38am: what is it that you need to know about the cruise?

Comment by BoLeger on January 10, 2012 at 7:55am: I am planning on going but have no idea how to prepare. Don't know dates or where in Hawaii, to meet the ship. I've heard that I need a physical and need to send a fee to participate. Don't know if any of this is accurate. How do I get the ball rolling on this?

Comment by BoLeger on January 10, 2012 at 10:50am: No he has been out to sea. His ship is the one that rescued the Iranians from the pirates.

Comment by BoLeger on January 10, 2012 at 12:26pm: Thank you so much! Very helpful!

Comment by BoLeger on January 10, 2012 at 3:16pm: Thank you Kathy! I guess all I can do is wait for the email! Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Comment by BoLeger on January 10, 2012 at 3:24pm: Lady Hamilton, I have never even seen his ship! I do hope so badly that he has turned in the necessary paperwork so I can join the fun! Presidential duty?!? Wow!
