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."

Doing our best, the whole family, to learn all he needs to help him be prepared and successful. Thrilled to have found this site and this group. Lisa

Comment by flgirltwo on August 26, 2012 at 9:11am: It's true! They really know how to handle the crowds! We drove to PIR and by the time we had gone to Dunkin Donuts at 6:30 and got our coffees - there was no line up of traffic at all and we were parked in covered parking and seated in the hall by 7:30! They sure know what they are doing!
