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 Matt's mom on June 19, 2018 at 10:44pm: Andy’s Mom. Our son,too, is an OCS graduate in Pensacola. We have sent a few Priority Mail packages through USPS and at least one of them was totally destroyed. It was not only ripped open it was soaking wet.

Comment by Allison on June 19, 2018 at 7:44pm: No problems like that, but it is unusually slow to ship from New England to Pensacola by either USPS or UPS.

We have had problems with USPS in my area, but not as this level.

Comment by Helomom on May 30, 2018 at 1:26am: Thank you all! We are actually visiting them this weekend. He has started looking at jobs that might be coming up for his next tour in 2020. Last set of orders...

His dad and I are still soooo excited for him.

Comment by Andy'sMom on May 25, 2018 at 2:55am: Congrats Helomom!

Comment by Helomom on May 14, 2018 at 9:46pm: Thank you all! It’s been a long time since I snapped those Ensign bars on his shoulders at graduation. He and his family love their Navy life. As they used to say...”It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure!” (USN ad campaign from the early 90's, I believe)
