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 Debbie (Stephen's mom) on March 3, 2010 at 9:56am: Michelle,

I did not got Stephen PIR was a walk across a stage, a handshake and receiving a piece of paper a told of 20 minutes and then he got the rest of the day off.

Comment by becky m on March 2, 2010 at 9:17pm: I messed that up I was excited when he got his verbal orders first.

Comment by becky m on March 2, 2010 at 8:43pm: Michelle mine said the same thing to me " its not that big of a deal mom" He graduated from A school and 2 hours later was on a plane home for his 2 week leave. That was exactly a yaer ago this week. He hasn't been back home since. :( hopefull coming home in May thou. Don't get real excited if he gets verbal orders first, sometimes written orders and verbals orders change. I was excited at first when he got his written orders. He was close to home, then got crushed when he got his written orders.
