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."

Hello!  So happy to find this OH group!  My son left 8/3 - is in Div 946 with PIR on 9/25.  Hello to Lukesmom!  we are in NW Columbus!  What is your son's duty for PIR?  Mine entered as a MUS.  He will be a member of a fleet band following A school.
