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 T-Lynn on November 8, 2010 at 12:27pm: The Sun is shining brightly
The Sky is so Blue
The Wind is blowing through the chimes gently
to play a soft tune.

It makes me stop to think
Just how lucky I am
To have such wonderful friends
in each of You :)
