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 IrinaNavyMom on July 15, 2013 at 11:08pm: I would also consider taking a train or a bus, but the arrival time is very unfortunate...

Comment by martha on July 15, 2013 at 11:03pm: Hello I will be driving from the Bronx for my daughters PIR. Where from NY you drove from?

Comment by Cody's Mom Ship11Div343 on July 15, 2013 at 10:53pm: Yikes! That makes for a long day! I want to leave early and try to get there by dinner time. Who knows, flights aren't 100% out yet..lol

Comment by IrinaNavyMom on July 15, 2013 at 10:45pm: We started from NYC around 1 pm. Had a couple of 20 minutes stops and 1 hour sleep - and made it just in time for the ceremony...boy, that was really hard, especially to stay awake till 8 pm when our sailor had to come back to the base, but no regrets- happy we could make that happen :)
