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 Lorraine on August 15, 2010 at 11:03pm: USS Silversides was a great site for the Meet and Greet. I wish I could have stayed longer but we had to add another leg to our journey that day. Thanks, Shelby, for getting us together. I learned a lot from the other moms Saturday and really enjoyed hearing what their sons/daughters are doing.
3dsmom: I can't even imagine what it's like to have more than one son in the military. You have a very special family and I will pray for their safety.
Liz and NavyMomX2 - welcome to the group - I hope you are planning to attend PIR. It is a fantastic event!
