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 kazzam(SHIP 13 DIV 313) on October 5, 2012 at 10:28am: Jane, thanks so much! My son is going in undesignated also. For now anyway. What is a BM? Still learning Navy abbreviations :) Let me know what Stephanie has to say. I'm trying to find out all I can about where is he is going to be and what it's like. I guess it's just the mom in me still kicking in...
