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 jacqueline-rn on June 28, 2011 at 12:20pm: I hope Jessica knows how proud we are of her. A lot of the young sweethearts we see on Navy4Moms are all about themselves.... I hope I get the phone call, when will he be able to spend time with me? Jessica has been about supporting the man she loves and helping him be the best he can be. That is a level of maturity that we can all aspire to. Bravo zulu Jessica!!!!!
