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 HisMom on June 24, 2011 at 5:27am: I need a little help here. I want to tell everyone to bring an item to pack for my son when he goes to SD .
We will have a party when he comes home between A school and his duty station (I guess that is what you call it) I need to know what a typical sailor needs. HELP

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 1, 2011 at 1:57pm: Here's something else to be aware of - Gossip Shuts Down USS Bataan's Facebook Page (NavyTimes.com)

"Loose tweets sink fleets, and as sailors and Marines aboard the amphibious assault ship Bataan learned, unchecked gossip can bring down a command’s Facebook page.
The Bataan’s page was shut down May 15, severing a major communication line to sailors’ families as the Norfolk, Va.-based ship continues its deployment in the Mediterranean. A page for at least one other ship may also be removed, as well."

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 1, 2011 at 1:14pm: For pictures and articles, you can also search your ship through the navy.mil Mediaport http://www.navy.mil (click on the camera as it goes by), and at http://www.dvidshub.net.
