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 Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on March 20, 2011 at 9:40pm: Rosie, I sent a friend request and a message. My son said he might be interested in your car. :)

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on March 19, 2011 at 5:55pm: Rosie, I'll ask my son. We might Skype tomorrow. He's looking for a car, but as far as I know, he's looking for something a little newer than that, but he may change his mind. You never know.
