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."

I know this is a touchy subject but I've not heard from my SIL.  Presuming they went out with the fleet.  Anyone know?

Comment by Oceanslayer on September 10, 2018 at 6:52pm

Praying for safety of all our sailors.

That's what I heard also from my daughter in law. My son is an MMA2.

My son is on the Albany! Finally got his dolphins a couple of months ago, but still working his butt off so finish his sonar quals. Hoping to get time to see him before deployment, but with the schedule these guys keep it won't be easy. Is anybody sending the halfway package with their sailor? I was thinking I would give it to him when we visit and he can take it with him.
