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 camenae on April 13, 2011 at 1:41pm: ACK! Just found out hubby will be getting his orders in the next few weeks. He graduates A school early June. I'm starting to get nervous!! Time to start compiling all the wonderful tips from this group...

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on April 12, 2011 at 11:28pm: Also Txnavywife make sure you keep all your receipts!

Comment by Anti M on April 12, 2011 at 3:34pm: They do reimburse you, up to a certain amount. You should be able to call the travel office on his base to verify the information and find out how he goes about filing the paperwork.
