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."

Congratulations on your new Sailor!
Hope he is wrong about the watch. Bummer!
Blessings on all the time you do get to spend with him.
Hope you can see him again when he gets through with his next training.

Comment by bhebert on May 10, 2011 at 6:02pm: I got my call today and my SR is now a Sailor! Very proud of him. Very disappointed that we only have about 7 hours to spend with him and now he says he may have watch during that time.
