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 CatMom509 on April 4, 2013 at 1:24pm: As moms of daughters in a predominately male military world,

Here's some reassurance for you all~~

        "Peace I leave with you;

         My peace I give you.

         I do not give to you as the world gives.

         Do not let your hearts be troubled

         and do not be afraid."

                                             John 14:27
