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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 1, 2011 at 6:41pm: D for Megan- Glad you are still here!

I'm sure that for the rest of your life Greenwoods song will make you feel that way. I saw a glimpse of it on youtube.

Part of me would have so loved to see my Sailor get "capped" and yet at the same time...not.

It "belongs" to you all who earned it.
