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 AmeliaGrumma (RCU) on November 5, 2010 at 3:48pm: Barbara--my daughter just called telling me all about your visit & the goodies!

Then she informed me that she is expected to return to the RCU Monday afternoon around 2 PM! So I expect she'll call me at work after lunch before they transfer her back. Roommate will be there for quite some time with her rehab.

I can't thank you ladies enough for everything you've done to reach out to the girls!

You are all a Blessing!
Tracy
