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 NuclearLove (13/041 12/28/12) on September 10, 2012 at 9:31pm: Awe! My DH doesn't leave until November but I'm counting down the moments to that horrible day. Spending as much time as possible with him now is helping me but I think that I'm annoying him. :-P I've already made the stationary to which I'm going to be writing his letters on and bought a journal for me. I don't know how else to prepare...
