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 see in Austin you are tied to the Austin Rodeo but on that website I don't see any mention about Navy events. I suppose you are working with some of the event coordinators there ... or are you just exhibiting?
We are coordinating to have the Leap Frogs (Navy Parachute demonstration team), the Navy Band, and Sailors at the Austin Rodeo, as well as having other events throughout the city. We are still in the planning process, but as events are confirmed they will go on the web site.

Also, if you have an idea for a "Navy for Moms" event, or one open to the general public, please let us know!
Tampa is the first Navy Week in 2011, held in conjunction with the Gasparilla Pirate Festival Jan. 22-29. Austin is Mar. 19-26.
