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 Doreen-ProudNavyMom on January 15, 2012 at 12:36pm: Lala - thanks for the link the scrapbooking group. I will need the ideas because I am not very creative on my own.

Comment by marlena on January 15, 2012 at 12:33pm: Good morning! Got a phone call from my son yesterday. What a blessing! He sounded exhausted and emotional, but to hear his sweet voice was the best thing I could imagine. He said he was tired and that it was awful, but that he loves it and doesn't want to be anywhere else right now. He kept saying he couldn't wait to 'make me proud' when he becomes a sailor. I'm already and have always been proud of him. :)
