OPERATIONAL SECURITY. The slogan 'Loose Lips Sink Ships' is dated but still embodies the basic principle of Operational Security, or OPSEC. A newer slogan, ‘Loose Tweets Destroy Fleets’ carries the same message. OPSEC is a multi-faceted concept that strives to prevent the inadvertent compromise of sensitive or classified activities, capabilities or intentions. OPSEC involves a relatively simple five-step process that anyone can use: - Identify critical information – information can assist an adversary in many ways. - Analyze information threat. Does an adversary have the capability to collect or use the information, and if so, how? - Analyze the vulnerabilities - how is the critical information relayed daily and how is it protected? - Risk assessment - how likely is it that the information could be compromised. - Countermeasure development - what steps can be taken to protect information from being disclosed? Additional simple steps include avoid talking about work away from the office; be aware of your immediate surroundings at all times, and who is in the area. Keep in mind that what is not being said can be information in itself. Whether on or off work, a Sailor's safest bet is to assume

On September 24, 2016 I had the privilege of visiting the USS Midway Historical Museum. My friend Michelle, who is also a CBU student, accompanied me while we explored this fantastic site. I was recommended to tour the USS Midway by my German foreign exchange student who was able to visit the attraction a couple weeks earlier. Niels emphasized how much he enjoyed his visit and explained that it was a shame that I had not been there earlier, due to the fact that I live so close to San Diego. It was Niel’s advice, paired with my prior interest in the history of this battleship that inspired me to finally see it for myself.
