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 Mossgirl4 on March 13, 2011 at 3:33pm: Oooh - I love Brevard... and Boone! Lived in Boone 4 years while in school at App. Of course that was 30 years ago! I live in Charlotte now but with both parents originally from WNC (Asheville and Franklin) and gobs of family in the area, we drive up all the time. I'd move back in a skinny minute!!! :)
