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 velvetlace on May 3, 2011 at 10:43am: My husband and I will definitely be at the Ramada Meet and Greet. We are so looking forward to meeting all of you!!!!! I had a hard time sleeping last night because of the anticipation of the PIR and meeting all the wonderful people, whom I have met, on Navy Moms. This will be a very exciting PIR---actually historic considering the heroic efforts of our Navy Seals and the U.S.S. Carl Vinson. God bless all of you, all of our military especially our Navy, and the United States. Mary

Comment by AuntDabi on May 3, 2011 at 10:41am: I answered as might attend, I am staying at the Ramada, just not sure if I will get to the hotel in that time frame. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on May 3, 2011 at 10:12am: I checked with the Ramada, they do provide name tags so if you want, you can write your screen name along with your real name so we know who's who :) For guests staying at the Ramada, 2 drink tickets good for beer/wine or soda are provided. For everyone attending, there will be hot hor d'oeuvres and the opportunity to mingle with everyone. I am sooooo looking forward to this!!!!
