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 Tabitha on December 17, 2009 at 6:09pm: Thanks Evelyn!! You're so right!!! I am not going to worry about it anymore! It just stinks that I can't talk to him and be reassured! LOL Oh well...on with our lives!

Comment by Tabitha on December 17, 2009 at 5:01pm: I am hoping he's already had a chance to study! LOL His letter was just not very positive which is NOT what I want to hear right now! LOL But I have given it to God! I am sure he will do GREAT! And really as long as he does his BEST, that's all I can ask for!

Comment by Tabitha on December 17, 2009 at 4:40pm: Hey ladies! I got a letter today....I am a little worried! My hubby didn't sound as upbeat as usual! He is VERY stressed out about this last written test! I am guessing it will be Monday instead of tomorrow now. He was talking about how 7-12 recruits fail the last test and how he might get asmo'd! I didn't really enjoy reading this letter today :( He said if the RDC's would just give him a lil time to study he would feel much better. So, now my specific prayer is that he will have time to look over everything and be able to remember it! I am praying for a phone call maybe today or tomorrow-just to reassure me that he will pass this test! Please pray for him!
