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 motheroftwo (ship 07/div 340) on October 3, 2011 at 7:16pm: I agree surfermom...just let me know when and I will be there!! I'm a lil preoccupied this week as I'm heading to GL's for his PIR. Emotions are everywhere. For some reason I seem like I'm as emotional as the week he left. I'm just glad I finally get to see him and talk to him!!!

Comment by Christa (Proud Navy Mom) on September 17, 2011 at 4:12pm: Welcome, Karen! I live just outside of Winston-Salem. My son is also at boot camp and his PIR is 9/30. This has been quite a journey... it has had many ups and down, but this site, and the women on it, have been a lifesaver!
