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 AmyS on July 15, 2015 at 11:25am: Good morning everyone. My husband passed away at 7am on Saturday morning. I had a feeling he was holding on until his last child came home before he let go. He went peacefully and my son, oldest stepdaughter and I were with him. Thank you again for the thoughts, prayers and kind words.

Comment by JJ on July 15, 2015 at 9:56am: Amy S. Please keep us posted on any news of your husband. I will continue to send out special prayers for your family.
