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 Marvelmom on October 17, 2011 at 9:01am: kfitch: I am the Mom a a MAA heading to SA. Hope to meet you at the meet and greet.

Comment by SheilaD on October 17, 2011 at 8:15am: Nyyoli - I'm praying for your son - they will do everything they can to get your son through the swim test and get him into the next BS. Diane is right, breathe slowly and it will work out ok. If they do have to keep him back, it will be so they can help him out and make sure he's confident and ready. I really hope to see you at PIR.

Comment by diane on October 16, 2011 at 10:48pm: nyyoli, everyone does care so if this doesn't work out with the swim test this week, you can know that i will check next week my friend for an update. take care and and breathe slowly, everything will work out,
