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 on November 5, 2011 at 10:08pm: Good evening Ladies. I've been absent on here today and thought I would check in. Today is my husband and my 7th wedding anniversary. We had a pretty laid back day today. Didn't do a whole lot. Ran a few errands this afternoon and went to dinner tonight.
