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 JJ on September 11, 2015 at 10:50am: I am sitting here at my desk, thinking back on this day in 2001 when our Country was attacked. My heart still goes out to all the families of those who lost members of their families and friends. May this NEVER happen again. Please take a minute or two out of your busy day to say a special prayer for all who lost their lives on that day and our Military men and women that have died protecting us while serving our Country.

Comment by J Peder on August 17, 2015 at 10:00am: Hi everyone, Busy summer so I haven't been on the site but wow a lot happening.
Amy S I am so sorry for your loss and and your diagnosis. I hope your surgery went well.
