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 Zenda 04/823 on January 5, 2012 at 12:47pm: Okay ladies....we're needing some prayers and positive thoughts going out to the class graduating 1/13. The testing has begun this week on what they've learned. So far...so good!! Everyone passed their "drown proofing" yesterday - the first time they tried. I'm having the emotions from boot camp LOL.
