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 Ozzy on May 2, 2011 at 8:55am: Great, thanks so much for all your help. Really appreciate your knowledge.

Comment by Wanderlust on May 2, 2011 at 8:17am: They all use a specific big black backpack that they wear during pre dive and dive school. He can get it at the NEX. Once he is at the barracks for pre dive he can use any bag outside of pre dive activities. I brought my husband one of his backpacks from home that he used on weekends.

Comment by Ozzy on May 2, 2011 at 8:11am: Perfect information on the clothes, thanks so much.

I have a black Nike bag (with the logo and a little grey), do you think that is OK?

Comment by SailorsPrincess on May 1, 2011 at 9:50pm: Solid black bag TxSandcrab!

Comment by TxSandcrab 04/809 on May 1, 2011 at 9:28pm: That was thanks! Not thanks? Yes, my son is going directly to Pre Dive.

Comment by TxSandcrab 04/809 on May 1, 2011 at 9:25pm: Do the clothes and electronics have to be in a certain type/color bag? Thanks?

Comment by mamasan 4/809 on May 1, 2011 at 8:11pm: Thanks Gerry! Mine is also going to pre-dive right after PIR.

Comment by Ozzy on May 1, 2011 at 4:22pm: Should we bring the civilian clothes with us to PIR? Thanks.

Comment by TxSandcrab 04/809 on May 1, 2011 at 1:01pm: Are Sailors allowed civilian clothing in PRE Dive? Thanks!
