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 B'sMom on March 25, 2015 at 4:40pm: Hi there BlancheMarie and CruAn. I'm assuming you ladies do not have a recruit currently in BC.

Comment by CruAn on March 25, 2015 at 4:24pm: Hi B'sMom, no you're not alone just nothing going on. Work, shop, clean, sleep & repeat. The area here is too full of "Snowbirds" to move without bumping into someone. April will let up ... can't wait!

Comment by B'sMom on March 25, 2015 at 9:58am: All these FL groups are awfully quiet. Am I the only mom in central FL with a SR?

Comment by B'sMom on March 9, 2015 at 2:45pm: Hi there. My son is off to MEPS tomorrow then on to GL. He wasn't supposed to go until May. We just got the chance of date call 2 wks ago, I'm soooo not ready to say BYE. Beyond proud, of course. Just lil nervous for him. HOOYAH!
