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 meagan5220 on September 29, 2012 at 11:31pm: Lynn I sooo hope you come to VA!!! :)

carebear yes from what they have been telling the sailors they will either get christmas or new years. But from what I have been hearing most of the new guys have been told they will not likey be getting christmas. They told them it would probably be given to the guys that have been on the last two deployments and missed it. Idk for sure if thats the case but I know my husband got told he wouldnt get leave for Christmas already... which I am ok with as long as we get time together since we havent gotten to spend one together yet.
