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 February 15, 2010 at 5:24pm: Becky--I've got some paperwork to catch up on. Don't let me forget to look up some Moms closer to you. btw--I used to work at Good Samaritan Hospital and later at Fields Animal Hospital. We joked that our sailor was going to be born at the vet's office--as it turned out, I took leave just two days before he was born.
