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."

Heard from my son today-sounds like they are doing well-he is on ship 3, div 137-I hadn't heard from him for a few weeks so it was wonderful to hear his voice-sheesh I gotta get a grip-as usual I got all choked up to say good bye-afraid I will be a mess at PIR-

Glad you heard from your son. I know the feeling of being all choked up I get the same way. I think we will all be well stocked with tissues during PIR. I am glad they will be taking videos because I am not sure how my pictures will come out with all the tears I will be shedding.
