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 December 23, 2012 at 12:28am: Update on our Mystery Trip.....As we crossed into Iowa, the roads were the worst I have ever seen, with wind chill temperatures at 12 degrees below zero and drifting snow turning the highways into pure ice, driving became nearly impossible. With a 25 car pile-up (killing 2) just miles ahead of us, the Highway Department closed 35. Our plans were all canceled, and I spent 30 minutes on the phone canceling reservations for the rest of the trip. It was a mess. But we were not the only ones who's plans were spoiled. Streams of people came into the hotel as I was checking in. Better safe than sorry. So, now our plans will be delayed for awhile. HO HO HO And Merry Christmas to all.
