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 sunshine73 on October 17, 2012 at 7:02pm: Proudascanbe-I live pretty close to Cherry Point (just across the Neuse River). The closest airport is about 15 to 20 miles from the base in New Bern. Jacksonville is a few miles farther but the flight might be cheaper. If you are renting a car, you might want to look into flying into Raleigh (hundreds cheaper).
