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."

I did get the wreath, but the poor girl who waited on me didn't know what I was talking about. I had to ask the other girl. Of course, both were very nice and friendly. A very nice shop!

Comment by MN Mom of MM on December 6, 2012 at 10:55pm: I won't be able to be at the gathering this month. My sailor is home for part of his leave. He graduated prototype on the 29th, but they lost some paperwork, so he only gets to have 10 instead of the 30 day leave. we take him back to the airport on Sunday. Life is kinda up in the air right now.
