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 October 18, 2010 at 7:37pm: Wow things are hopping here.

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 18, 2010 at 10:51am: Dodi--no music talent required for 900 disvision. It's a honor to be in that group.

Linda--glad you talked with your son and will meet some more of our great Moms soon.

Comment by Dodie on October 17, 2010 at 11:57pm: I received my son's form letter last Thurs. He is ship 02/div 903 w/PIR 12/3/10. He said he was in a push division. I wonder what he'll be doing in the 900 division because he has no musical background. Maybe flags or staff support. I'm waiting for his 1st real letter for details. Then on to Goose Creek after graduation:)
