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 nancy on June 27, 2010 at 8:38pm: Anti M thanks! Yes he comes home after A school for 10 days and i'm planning on leaving with him at that time. Not sure if we get COLA allowance, if we do that would be great! Thanks for the response and info.

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on June 27, 2010 at 7:13pm: Thanks Steve'sMom, I just started our process of prepping for our move in July and realized there was no group for it and I was like well I need to start something for every one else.

Chuck's Chick, are you married they will only move his stuff from home one time (I believe). If your not married or his already move to his first duty station it will be on your dime.

Comment by ChucksChick (He's a Sailor!!) on June 27, 2010 at 3:03pm: I am planning on moving to great lakes with my husband who is in a school. I was just wondering what compensation am I eligible for? Will I get the dla allowance or is that just for when you move to your first duty station after school
