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."

Wow--I am so glad to hear that! Sounds like a plan to take that week off to visit Charleston and Goose Creek. I missed Andy so much yesterday--it's like it's real that we two old folks are in our new life without our son. Still remain so proud of his decision to join the Navy.

Pat--awesome. Per the book "Power of Positive Imaging" I now have something to add to our prayers of Goose Creek. Thanks a million for sending the pix. Carol

Pat--see your son is at Goose Creek. We pray for our only son to be able to go there--he is at boot camp as of June 17th. It is his dream. Funny, he started out wanting to join mass communications, but with his partial college credits and pre-testing score, he hopes for nuke school. I shall continue to follow your son's progress. God Bless. Carol

Pat- that is a privacy option that members have if they want to add it to their walls or blogs. That isn't how the whole site is. Who ever started the thread will look at it to approve or not.
