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."

Ten years ago today the destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) was attacked by terrorists while at anchor in Aden, Yemen -- 17 Sailors were killed in the attack. Today we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the bombing of USS Cole, the extraordinary effort of her crew in saving the ship, and our shipmates lost that day. (SM)

On this day in 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law allowing the admission of women into service academies like the US Naval Academy. HOOYAH!

Today the Navy is celebrating Women's Equality Day; August 26th commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote. It also signifies women's continuing efforts toward full equality. The role of women in the Navy has evolved significantly since the first females became WAVES during WWII. Today we are celebrating Navy women, past and present. Please share with us the Navy women you celebrate today as well.
