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."

When I visited the site, it appeared to ask me to sign up for the military site with my cable provider. However, that stopped me short as I don't want a new bill on my cable charges. Will it be available free on-line?

I'll check with the Discovery Network and see if they plan to post it online. It's 3 hours total, so I'm not sure that they will.

This was most interesting and I look forward to the rest of the series.

Wow--the event in the Arctic with the submarine pushing through the ice was unbelievable! Then, they go to training dolphins and sea lions to help protect our sailors. Then, the Seals as they train... well, let's just say the 3rd program was my favorite.
