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 MissMySailor on November 22, 2011 at 4:28pm: Hi all! My son Drew made third class Petty Officer too!!!!! He called me Friday around 4pm and to hear the pride in his voice was awesome!!! He was yelling and laughing. He had just got back from underway and said I got to sneak a call in to you because I can't believe I made it mom! I am so proud and congrats to all the other moms as well and thanks for posting the crows I had no idea what my son was talking about.

Sally I am very sorry for your mothers passing.
