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 mamaWella on January 30, 2010 at 1:47am: JoAnna ... that's great that your son has time for sports :) As a mom, it's always very reassuring to hear our boys are making good use of their time. I often worry that my son will get into drinking his free-time away - so far, he hasn't :)
