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 proudmom on May 11, 2012 at 4:48pm: Hi all! I'm from Wichita and have a daughter at RTC. She left May 2 and I am dying to get a letter from her. I felt the same way when my son was in boot camp at Ft. Jackson. It is always amazing toq me how much the military changes our children. It gives me so much pride in my children. It is an honor to say thank you to our military men and women! Thank you all!
