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 carols_kitchen on March 17, 2014 at 12:38pm: I will only be back home in Carmel for a couple of days in June to see my new great niece. She's a beaut, and will be visiting from LA.

Comment by hoosiermamma on March 17, 2014 at 12:22pm: I would love to go to a meet & greet! I am in Muncie but have a 90 year old mother living in Carmel so I get that direction quite often. Will look for the next gathering!

Comment by Reid's Ma on March 17, 2014 at 7:41am: Cathy and all, we never got to Avon when Kaye so graciously worked to get an Indy group together. Monday night didn't work for us. We're in Anderson. If you do meet on the north side of Indy, we'll hope to get there. Just give a few days notice of the date! My son began 10th year.
