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 KWL's mom on October 8, 2013 at 9:10pm: Anybody out there? :) My son has lived in 4 states in the past 14 months - MO, IL, CT, and GA. Now he is on the USS Tennessee, which is an Ohio class submarine. (Thought I might as well mention the other two states that he is "connected" with) Sure do miss my sailor. Looks like it has been a year since Glo Mom asked about our sailors - Wow. It has been great. I still cry when I hear about someone attending their son's or daughter's PIR.

Comment by Glo Mom of Future Officer on October 7, 2012 at 10:57am: Wow, this has been a wonderful group to be a part of. Thank you for letting me be a part of this fabulous group. Please keep in touch and let me know how your Sailors are doing.
