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 LauraS on April 21, 2011 at 11:53pm: mamawalrus-my son is in San Antonio for HM school. He left great lakes 4/17. He was in Div 129. I haven't heard anything from him since he arrived in Texas. Have you heard from your son?

Comment by WandaG on April 21, 2011 at 9:14pm: Just want to share that my daughter passed her physical and typing test at MEPS today!!! We are both excited! Her body fat is 28%!!!!! She busted her butt to bring her body fat down and continues to do so. Hooyah!!
Hopefully, she will be able to return soon to MEPS to select her rating and to swear in.

Comment by WandaG on April 18, 2011 at 6:39pm: Has anyone seen the PIR graduation video? Is it worth getting? It would be nice to see my sailor in the video. My daughter said she would like to join the drill team while she's at boot camp. She knows her father and I were in the Air Force ROTC drill team when we were in college.
