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 August 31, 2010 at 7:27pm: Ginger--Navy Week St Louis starts this Thursday and runs through a week from Sunday. Aside from a fund raiser I've had set up for months on Sept 11th, guess my weekend will be filled with Navy fun for two weeks.

Comment by Sanmor on August 31, 2010 at 7:26pm: you are very welcome Pat, I just wish I could vote more than once. I am a member of a large team on etsy, and they spoiled me when my son left for bootcamp, I was having a hard time, and they bought me wonderful meaningful gifts. I know they will help now too.
