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 ProudNavyMom#1 on February 26, 2014 at 12:46pm: Dear shirl, God bless your Son and your family. One of the N4M ladies mentioned on a post and I hope this helps, that it's better it happened to them now while they are starting their career in the Navy rather than later. Thank God you have all made it through. Big NMH to you my dear.

Comment by shirl on February 25, 2014 at 8:13pm: Thanks all for prayers, my son did learn and will not ever do it again, he has grown spiritually as well as grown into a man taking full responsibility for his dumbass decisions, sorry about that word but that is how he describes it and to an extent he is right. Just warn ur sons if they will listen it is no fun getting in that kind of trouble, luckily my son never drives and drinks, but alcohol as I told him can be the Devil in disguise. We made it through so did he, but it was hard.
