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 Diane1954 on July 19, 2010 at 12:41pm: We had a wonderful weekend in SD w/our son for his wedding on Saturday. It was a beautiful ceremony. The bride looked wonderful as did our son. We did have a little bit of time to spend with them before the wedding. The chaplin has the same first name as our son, which we believe is a good sign. He was awesome as well. Some of the people in SD were complaining about how hot it was - mid 80's at worse! Some heat! It was 30 degrees hotter here in Phx while we were gone. We thought the weather was great!
