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."

Congratulations!! 

It is so nice to see a posting entitled "excited!" rather than the ones that indicated no excitement that their child(ren) is in the Navy  :)    I understand the sadness that their children are leaving to join the Navy, but it is so awesome that they WANT to join the Navy & be a part of something "bigger" for the benefit of our nation!! 

You have every right to be proud -- enjoy!!
