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."

Hey proudlimom!!! Glad you made it over!! I talked with my Sailor oday and he said hardly anybody whose Mom's had overnighted their phones got them. The lady at my post office said you can't guarantee overnight delivery to any base, but she did say he should have his by tomorrow before 3pm!! Love you guys!

OK....well I made it over, it did not take too much searching!!!! I talked to my son a little while ago, on a payphone, not his cell phone that cost me a fortune to overnight!!!! LOL He did not get it yet. I guess it is on the base, just not in his hands!!!
