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."

Amy I always fly into Seattle when I go visit my son in Oak Harbor.  It is about a two hour drive on I5.  I don't know about hotels because I always stay at my son's house.  Enjoy your trip!

Comment by AMY(CODY'S MOM) on December 25, 2014 at 7:18pm

I know I don't comment very often but I was wondering if anybody could help me. I'm getting my trip ready to Oak Harbor and need hotel accommodations and where do I fly into? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas to all! The President of the United States made phone calls today to random service personnel deployed overseas. An AO1 in my son's squadron was the recipient of one of those phone calls. Christmas greetings from the President, that's cool!
