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."

Debbie, what a wonderful tribute to your dad. ((hugs))
Comment by Kristina on January 5, 2011 at 3:51pm
Debbie, Because it was your father(your sons grandfather) that passed away-which im truely sorry for) your son should have been able to take emergency leave all he woudl have had to do was call the quarter deck and they would have called the higher ups. The process usually takes only an hour and he could have made it to the funeral

((hugs)) Debbie.  I'm sorry for your loss.  My prayers are with your family.

Debbie, I'm so sorry about your Dad. I know what it's like losing a dad. I will never go a day without missing mine.

I prayed for you and your family when I read this. For comfort and strength at this time.
