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."

And, Kimberly, get well quickly.

Comment by carols_kitchen on July 15, 2011 at 8:48pm: Got my large, new Thirty-One tote packed and ready to go to speak with a large group of our future sailors and their families. Have notes on bootcamp survival for the parents, POA's, three stages of pillowcases, Pepsi votes for MAS, a sample packing box, a beanie baby and Susan's power point presentation. Cannot wait! I've got the camera too,for when I ask the recruiters if the recruits can whip out their cell phones and turn them on to vote.
