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 January 18, 2014 at 6:25pm: What a fun time we had today! For those of you who could not make it, please try to come in the future and meet some of the other Nany Moms. Here are the ones that made it today from Left to right: JJ, Joan, Margo, Amanda, Carol and Amy. Of course, we couldn't forget that Beth was also there but had to leave early, so we framed her!!
