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 SailorMomCarla - Ship12Div410 on April 27, 2011 at 12:20am: Four of us will be attending the M&G and staying at the Ramada. One in our group (Grandpa) is also a Navy Vet from the 50's...part of the Atomic Bomb tests, Bikini Atoll, now known as the dawn of the Nuclear Age. Lots of reminiscing! Very exciting! Can't wait to meet everyone and so excited to see my son 11/186!

Comment by Lujos mom on April 26, 2011 at 8:29am: Ship 09 / Div 189 There will be 5 of us at the MEET & GREET! (Older brother, aunt, uncle (who is a Viet Nam Navy Vet), Mom & Dad of SR. Because only 4 can attend the PIR...the aunt will not be able to go. The Navy-Vet uncle did his boot camp at Great Lakes nearly 40 years ago...so this will be a trip down memory lane for him! He's very excited to return to Great Lakes after all these years...and he was a huge influence in my SR's decision to join the Navy! We're all very excited, and looking forward to, to MEET & GREET...but especially seeing our SAILOR at PIR on June 3!!! See you there!
