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."

Just thought I would start the discussion. It would be nice to get to know some of the families before graduation.

Hi everyone. I know we're all excited but don't forget, Trivia Tuesday and Wacky Wednesday. It would still be nice to see the Div. before we leave. Good luck to all who try.
