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 pattyb on May 29, 2011 at 2:20pm: I will see my son in 4 days! thank you do1 for the congrats and it is an awsome feeling. Cant wait to see him

Navy mom 3thank you too!! Maybe one day we can meet up! all the Florida moms are so great

Comment by d o on May 27, 2011 at 4:32pm: Patti, what a great feeling! I know you are proud. The PIR should be on every American's bucket list. Have fun in GL! We enjoyed the Navy Pier and the architecture boat tour plus, well we just did just about everything on those hop on hop off buses. Good times.

Our sailor was actually Grad n go, but we enjoyed sitting in the airport with him at the USO until he had to leave, and then seeing all the sites. The USO experience proved to be valuable to him later on. Since he was already familiar w/ it in GL, he was comfortable using it in some of his other travels. They are genuinely helpful to all of our service men.
