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 DocRenee on March 19, 2013 at 12:30am: buzyw2,

I would like to get together and live in Long Beach area. With my hectic work schedule a Saturday (or Sunday afternoon) would be ideal. First Saturdays I have available are April 20th and May 4th!
