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 Storymom on November 13, 2009 at 2:58pm: Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts! Hawaii will be a wonderful adventure and he's looking forward to it...BUT he has had a great time in Jacksonville! He visited St. Augustine, did some Scuba diving, visited some old plantations, went to Orlando, Cape Canaveral, tasted 'gator on a stick' AND went deep sea fishing!
Your lovely state was good to him! THANKYOU!
