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 lauren on January 8, 2009 at 7:41am: oh yeah and he gets to visit Guam...maybe they will cross paths

Comment by lauren on January 8, 2009 at 7:40am: I'm happy for you Tammy it feels so good when our guys get to go where they want......my son got to go to Hawaii, and really I don't think he will ever move back to the mainland "I hope he gets shoreduty on the Island" and it feels so wonderful knowing he loves where he is living ( maybe he should not tell the navy how much he loves it there....they might move him....lol)
