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 Donna on November 26, 2012 at 9:08pm: Hi everyone! My son is finishing A school in Pensacola and just received his orders to Jax when he finishes in December. We are in TX and just spent last week with him and some other sailors at Navy Lodge in Pen. It was great to see him and we are hoping to see him some between A school and move to Jax!

Comment by ZZsMom on November 25, 2012 at 4:27pm: Thanks Kalynn you arr always a doll! I will send Lindsey your congratulations. Hope you are doing well up north. Happy holidays!

Comment by Kalynn on November 25, 2012 at 3:07pm: Congrats Lindsey!!! Yes, once you reach Petty Officer you lose your
green stripes and gain the crow - a perched eagle with spread wings, then a rating mark (AM - hubby say AM should have something like 2 hammers), then 1 red Chevron for 3rd class, 2 red chevrons for 2nd class, 3 red chevrons for 1st class! So for the next to rank up she'll get, she'll receive another chevron. Congrats again!! :)
