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 Kevsmom93 on September 17, 2014 at 11:39pm: Thank you LindaGirl I love the USO it's an awesome organization to donate to because all of our armed services benefit. Can't wait to hear if a mom utilizes this service I'll have to wait and see where my boys will be around their B-Day's.

Comment by LindaGirl on September 17, 2014 at 8:35pm: Came across an articule in one of my husband's military magazines, called, USO PACIFIC OPERATION BIRTHDAY CAKE. Go on Google or any search engine, & it will bring up this particular USO site, that will make various cakes, cookies & brownies, for any occasion and will come with a gift card, & be beautifully boxed, & wil be sent to any military personal in the Pacific. Prices aren't bad & the selection of cakes, cookies, or other bakery items are varied and numerous.

Comment by spomss on September 17, 2014 at 1:06pm: oh thanks for the info for flights-have been searching and 'discussing' a trip with the hubs...

Comment by Pam on September 17, 2014 at 11:50am: Ha! From Atlanta it's a very long 10 hour flight time! ugh... Welcome to the new one's in the group. My son has been stationed at K-Bay for the last year and half. We went over for nearly two weeks in July to visit and it's gorgeous. American will run specials and that's how I found our flights. airfarewatchdog.com is a great site to use.
