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 sboli1 on May 16, 2011 at 1:03pm: Thanks Joyce wishing your son the best! Glad he likes VA. Ha ha its all secrets right. Have a nice day!

Comment by cindy b on May 16, 2011 at 6:24am: Hi, I am new to this. My son is going to the recruit office this morning. I am a wreck. He has been on an emotional rollercoaster for the last few years. He just finished 1 year at Niagara Community College. Announced to us a few months ago that he just does not know what to do with his life. Has not been able to get a job either which I think is a part of this. Any Moms in Lockport area I can talk to would be great. I live in Newfane which is a suburb of Lockport. He is my youngest and I am just so worried about him.

Comment by joyce on May 15, 2011 at 10:28am: Chris is now in norfolk va. start his navy job monday. He is classified as secret so he said i can stop trying to explain what he trained for in the navy and just say its a secret LOL. He says the living arrangements are really nice and the base is huge. good luck to your sailor sboli. It is a wild but crazy ride
