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 Karen Ott on December 10, 2009 at 6:39pm: I made all of ours for PIR by phone and we checked in without having him with us. Although you do have to give your sailors name. I do believe they make sure the name is on the grad list.

Comment by Karen Ott on December 9, 2009 at 8:53am: Garda I highly suggest the Navy Lodge it's right down the street from the Base, well it's actually on the base they even give you a pass for the NEX which is just a couple of block from the hotel.

Comment by Karen Ott on October 11, 2009 at 10:18am: LynnDear, Thanks so much. I am originally from Ponchatoula La, but I now live in Amarillo Tx I have family and friends there still but it doesn't seem like anyone has heard anything. I guess all we can do is keep them in our prayers.

Comment by Karen Ott on October 11, 2009 at 1:55am: Mom's one of our fellow mothers just recieved news tonight that her sailor was robbed and shot in New Orleans tonight. Please keep both her and her son in your prayers.
