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 Pam1957 on October 26, 2010 at 7:19pm: Strong winds still here in New Lenox, but not as bad as Peotone who had a tornardo come through earlier...some tree branches down, but nothing significant. Thankful that the power has not gone out...
