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 magaritas on September 18, 2012 at 10:12am: I do not know if texting works as this is our first experience with this but maybe when he goes in port, and that's only if they do...I am totally out of the loop here with this but he took his phone with him.

Comment by Kathy-Paige's mom on September 18, 2012 at 9:57am: My daughter to kept her phone on she can text and I think she took like 600 dollars but when she came home we purchased 7 months of everything especially toiletries guess its expensive in the ships store! She can access more cash if she needs to with her navy federal debt card and she took along a rechargeable calling card with 300 minutes and a cc if she needs that she's suppose to be saving money lol!!! That's all I can offer good luck!
