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 Hope-Nuke ET Wife on March 13, 2010 at 1:10pm: Hello everyone! My husband is currently in boot camp and will be missing our first wedding anniversary on April 4th.. He told me to go out and celebrate without him but I don't really want to do anything without him.. I am thinking we can just go out to dinner at his PIR on 4/30 and let his mom watch our son.. I hope this is the hardest part of our marriage!

Comment by Mrs. STS <3 on March 13, 2010 at 10:36am: very very true Cp7. :) if you love each other than those things arent an issue at all. :) you push thru them.. but if the loves not really there thats when things go downhill... :)

Comment by Cp7 on March 12, 2010 at 9:04pm: always remember....
in a good marriage the bumps in the road dont matter, you dont have to be scared because theres never any real jeopardy, its like a built in safety net because the real love is there
