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 ReneeBC on May 24, 2013 at 9:22pm: Hey, Jim.

Sorry to hear your young man is down again, Loved the "swimming w/ dolphins" photo and to know he is experiencing some ups as well. :)

Mine competed in the Tough Mudder this weekend. He finished and said it was the most grueling 2 hours of his life...he did not say that about SERE. Other than that, all he does is study, study, and then there is some studying in his spare time. ha-ha

I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend with some pausing and reflecting for those we have lost.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on May 10, 2013 at 2:14pm: @zzsMom, no, she not military. They met while out on the town in St. Augustine.

Comment by ZZsMom on May 7, 2013 at 6:48pm: Congrats Tee-1. Is his bride to be Navy too?

Jim, glad to see that your boy is feeling good. Is he still going to get out?
