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 carols_kitchen on May 14, 2011 at 7:12pm: My favorite of the one's he's posted so far

Comment by carols_kitchen on May 14, 2011 at 6:48pm: Our sailor called today. He's in dry dock in VA. He went on a Norfolk Walk today, and one of his photos he took during the walk has already been recognized as a photo of the day. I don't have it yet.

Also, we are going to see him next month. He asked that we bring a business casual outfit so we can get a family picture! We haven't done that since he was in high school -- and that was for our church directory. I'm pretty happy about that request!

Comment by AngiePNMx2 on May 12, 2011 at 4:28pm: Hoping more of you can come join us this Sat. in Bloomington for a Meet and eat! Check out the events to the right of this page for Illinios meet and eat and let us know who else can make it!!
