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 azsiaRAYA on January 3, 2012 at 9:15pm: Happy New Years everyone! My name is Azsia (really hard to pronounce) and my husband is going to be graduating A school in about 4 weeks. I live in Hawaii and will be moving for the first time to San Diego, Ca. If anyone has any advice as how to make the move stressless then I would be so grateful. Actually any advice is great... lol... I so look forward in making great friends.

I'm new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a Navy veteran, a Navy wife, and I'm also a Navy mom (our oldest is in A school). We're currently stationed in Japan, and our son is stationed in Florida for A school.
