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 lou2949 on February 3, 2011 at 4:42pm: Thanks, Chis...we're very happy for him......this has all been quite a ride so far. Reading all the experiences from all of you who are way ahead of us in this incredible journey has certainly helped.

Comment by lou2949 on February 3, 2011 at 4:32pm: There is a possibility advanced will be at the base in Milton in which case he would move closer.....unsure about that now. He's happy to be staying in the Pensacola area, however. He has met someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
