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 mrsb on June 19, 2015 at 10:32pm: Hello! I have a question about sergers. I had asked Sue about them and was wondering if any of you use them. I really like the look of the enclosed seam but am would like to know how it looks if it's serged. I have never used one before but thought it might save time.
