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 LaurieM Ship 2 Div 902 on December 26, 2010 at 11:41am: We are near Concord and have about 5 inches. Garrett was home for 7 days and we just put on the plane in Charlotte back to San Antonio this morning to finish A school. We had a great time with him. He will graduate in Feb.

Comment by navymom99(ship09 div075) on December 26, 2010 at 11:06am: Snow her in western NC. 6+ inches of snow. Talk about a white Christmas. I know my girl is colder than we are in GL. How much snow did everyone get. Also it is hard when it is the first Christmas they are away. I am sure it gets some easier when you have more contact with them but none in bootcamp. Stay warm NC parents and families.
