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 Chocoholic (ship 02, div 924) on May 9, 2012 at 4:31pm: Okay, I'm going crazy trying to find this: Someone in this group posted a web site where you could sign up to get an email message weekly of notifications and Navy "news." Who has that and is willing to share?
