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 cbrmom on March 22, 2013 at 10:55pm: Anyone have a seabee? Will be going to mississippi for A school

Comment by mom38024 on March 20, 2013 at 4:29pm: I do not believe that the Navy pays for flight homes under any circumstance, but I could be wrong. The last time I heard they will not allow Sailors to come home for a death unless it is immediate family, such as father, mother, brother or sister. But I could be wrong there too.

Comment by Texasproud6272 on March 20, 2013 at 4:25pm: Does anyone know if the navy pays for flights home due to an emergency for grandfather going to pass away?,I know about the space A and red cross ,but is there any other way ?

Comment by TammieB(Ship14Div343) on March 3, 2013 at 11:52pm: My son graduated "A"school Friday!!! One happy mom!!!

Comment by SoCal Ohana on March 1, 2013 at 8:13pm: For taxes - if they make less than a certain amount they do not need to file - unfortunately I am not sure what that amount is! The IRS website might be helpful

This is one of the websites where they post pics:
