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 diannep on August 2, 2011 at 9:10pm: So 245/246/938 went last night. They can only go up to 4 divisions a night...so Tonya...to answer your earlier question.....um, NO. Can't say on here when they WILL go, but I think you can figure it out! :-)

Congrats to the all of the new sailors today!

Comment by diannep on August 2, 2011 at 9:06pm: ...then ones with Navy caps on...sorry!

Comment by diannep on August 2, 2011 at 9:05pm: Terry: If all want to see a pik of that (not your sailors, unfortunately), go up to the BattleStations discussion group above. Click on the link. At the bottom of that page, go into "Craigs" link. Select the Part 2 of BattleStations and go through there. There is a pik of the sailors lined up for their caps, then close up of those with RECRUIT caps on....the ones with NAVY caps on! Wish it was a pik of your new sailors!

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on August 2, 2011 at 9:02pm: Terry - I was thinking exactly the same thing!! And what a special treat that will be for all of us!! We will get to SEE our Sailors before we HEAR that they are Sailors!!!
