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 Connie foaling-lady (Groton) on July 26, 2011 at 11:46am: Does anybody know what the ant situation is now in GC? Is it safe to mail boxes of cookies again or will they be swarmed? RE: game show ... in high school I was on "Battle of Wits" on TV; my team had to hit a little buzzer with answers to random factoid questions, it was a blast but no $$ .. would love to be on a game show today with Drew Carey, he's funny and brilliant.

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on July 26, 2011 at 11:30am: NavyMom, a group of us went to the Price is Right (I live in So. Cal.), and one of the people with us won a deluxe barbecue in the bid to go on stage, and then won a Ford F-150 truck! Very cool!!

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on July 26, 2011 at 11:10am: WHOA!! Evi that's SO COOL!
We have a star amongst us!!!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 26, 2011 at 11:10am: Haha, thanks elizabeth. I had a few people say they wanted some. Once i'm settled back in after PIR I might think about making a few here and there really cheap. They only cost about 5$ to make.

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on July 26, 2011 at 10:41am: Oh, forgot to answer the question for the day. No, haven't been on one or know someone who has. I love Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune 'cause they happen to come on at a good time. Hmmm Price is right, probably the one where everything has to add up to a dollar. When you pick a certain number of products to add up to a dollar. On second thought maybe it was more than a dollar.

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on July 26, 2011 at 10:39am: Wow before I go to bed on the West COast I read all the posts then I wake up have coffee read the paper and read the new posts. I could be late for work today but I'm lucky enough to have a dentist appointment instead. I'm getting a crown! It sounds like some kind of a prize doesn't it?

Nicole, Gorgeous shirt. You should go into the business. I'd order one!

Comment by Evi on July 26, 2011 at 10:34am: I was on the Wheel of Fortune in 1992! Won $2100 (enough for new carpet) but did not win the show. It was fun!!!

Comment by Binker & Bro: 2X Nuke Mom on July 26, 2011 at 9:50am: Em, I only remembered because two days in a row I have been trying to go back and catch up on the posts I missed last week! I have kept hitting the same point and never getting any further. Darn that ADD and my lousy distractedness!

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on July 26, 2011 at 9:44am: Voted! If people remind me, I remember. :) haha
