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 Melissa (Tucson) on July 6, 2009 at 12:28am: While the recruits are in the DEP program, they meet once a month with all the other DEPPERS in their zone (I think Tucson has 5 zones, Phx has a bunch more). The DEPPERS get a chance to practice some of the physical fitness aspects of Navy life and spend one-on-one time with recruiters (especially those who are getting ready to ship out to boot camp in the coming month). Last October the Tucson Navy moms starting making it a point to attend the zone meetings to meet the DEP moms who usually have questions/concerns. Just another way to support each other! Everyone involved seems to walk away with something. :) The biggest challenge we have is getting the DEPPERS to invite their moms!! lol

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on July 6, 2009 at 12:18am: I'm attending the July 11th Zone Meeting in Tucson to be held at Reid Park!! All you Tucson area moms are invited!!
