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 Suzi-OH on September 3, 2010 at 1:00am: My son called after a candlelight vigil his barracks had for this sailor. He also told me about the service at the chapel. Too sad for words to a Navy mother.

Comment by Laura on August 29, 2010 at 6:49pm: Amen Elizabeth. I am with you.

Comment by Suzi-OH on August 25, 2010 at 10:45pm: My son had PIR on 8/13 and is now in Pensacola....funny to see all the new sailors he has added to his Facebook page.

Even funnier was that while looking at his new sailor friends's pages on Facebook I realized that I had known a mother of one of the guys in his division from childhood. We have not been in touch for many years....I even took a photo of the two of them together!!!
