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 mtnmom on December 22, 2009 at 3:56pm: Hi All--
For those of you waiting for that most wonderful "I'm a Sailor" call, I am envious. I didn't get that call, becuase I was flying to Chicago, so he called his best friend. I knew his whole division passed, because Lynn, Geoffs Mom called me just as I landed at O'hare at 11 pm the night before PIR. Enjoy your calls and please post when you get the call.

My guy will be landing at O'hare about 3pm on 3rd, I'm sure he would like to split cab fare if they can arrange it. He's out with friends right now, I'll ask when he get back, but it might tomorrow before I can answer.
