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 pench on February 16, 2012 at 9:40pm: Hi all havent checked in her in quite some time, hope everyone is doing good and that your sailors are all healthy and happy. my son is still going strong in school get to see him this weekend so I am happy about that. just thought I would pop in and say hi hope all is good

Comment by QMGsmom on February 5, 2012 at 7:44pm: Swims, yes it makes sense, just curious as to why they need this when they already have it... So ill look at it as a positive thing... He must be doing ok so far.. :)

Comment by Swims on February 5, 2012 at 7:01pm: QMG, they do not do a top level security clearance when they sign up or go to BC. It is way too costly and so many of the guys end of dropping or for whatever reason not making it, so they wait to do this after it looks good for them. They will talk to everyone in your son's life in the past and present. It is quite extensive and with what they do in EOD they do a thorough check. Hope this helps.

Comment by QMGsmom on February 5, 2012 at 5:37pm: I got a call last night. He said he needed information for security clearance. All this information was complete initially, so why now after a long time before he shipped out would they ask for the same information?
