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 Michelle:Proud Wife of a Sailor! on January 21, 2010 at 10:38pm: Hey Wives.. I have a question. My husband is still in BC. when he goes to A school if the navy says that we can't move, can we anyhow? I mean they can't control where I live right? Will we (our son & I) still get BAH while he is in the barracks?

Comment by Tabitha on January 20, 2010 at 6:19pm: Thanks Mrs.Sailor!! I have heard that quiet a few sailors are getting put on hold for multiple reasons...I pray my hubby doesn't get put on hold for anything :O Depending on our orders, we may still go out to visit him-waiting for him to phase up

Comment by Tabitha on January 20, 2010 at 5:50pm: Mrs.SAILOR<3:I am jealous! My hubby and I are having a hard time adjusting to him being in A school! I love being able to talk to him everyday but it's killing me not being able to BE with him!! We discussed me and our son going to stay out in TX but he only has 6 weeks of school left-so we're taking it day by day and praying it gets easier! I love this site and just being able to vent---AAHH deep breaths! Thanks for listening ladies
