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 Elle on August 18, 2011 at 2:31pm: Attention please Never ever use BBG Communications (Luxemburg) while traveling internationally this company is a rip off... more importantly don't use your debit/credit card to pay for it they charge like $50 a minute!! I'm not kidding on top of that they charge you several times even if you made one call. This company is found at airport on pay phones.

Comment by dren (Ship 12 DIV 092) on March 15, 2011 at 12:19pm: @ Tiffany - my fiance is in GL for A-school. I'm actually up here the rest of this week to see him each night on his liberty. He starts school on 3/21. I plane on coming up in a few weeks when he gets to phase 2, so we can also get married like navywife72. Then I plan on coming up about every 3 weeks on his duty-free weekends :)
