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 might be there but, as like some many others we are driving in and it depends on the weather. BUT, if not, I'll be wearing a BIG RED Sweatshirt at the PIR!!! Safe travels to all who will be attending and look forward to any hugs and a "Hey" from any of you!

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 10, 2010 at 2:49pm: Hi Betsy, Figure we could just use sticky labels and a marker for the name tags. Everybody could just grab one and write their name, Ship and Div on it. Looking forward to this event. Will be staying at the Ramada.
