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 NJNavyMom on April 1, 2014 at 5:01pm: We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Fort Walton Beach. It was right on the beach! Close to everything! We loved it there. Our son graduated in the winter, so we loved taking advantage of the beach. All the grad's hung out a few beaches away from us!

All the families had dinner every night and it was such a great way to meet everyone!

Comment by 2navykids on April 1, 2014 at 10:16am: When they graduate from eod is that in SD?
