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 September 6, 2014 at 8:04pm: Wish I knew about PayPal.

Anti M and Kim might know.

Comment by momplus2 on September 6, 2014 at 2:25pm: Happy Saturday to all. I have a question about paypal and hoping someone can help me out. Are our sailors eligible to enroll in the paypal system while over seas? I know there are certain rules and regulations but not sure if it is possible. Also, is it safer security wise to use than a credit card? If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thank you Navy Hugs to All!
