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 Tabitha on February 9, 2010 at 11:21am: So, I posted this in the girlfriends/fiances group too>

Hey ladies:my husband is about to graduate from A school in TX and he hasn't received his written orders yet! We already know where we're going just not the day we have to be there and blah blah blah!
So, my question is, will my hubby have to fly straight out to the duty station to check in first and then come and get me to help me drive?! I know they told him the Navy paid for his plane ticket from TX to our duty station but we have to get back home to move our stuff! So, if anyone could give me some information on how this usually works, I would GREATLY appreciate it =)
