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 CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 28, 2011 at 10:06pm: I thought that was the case. But I was confused too.

Comment by diannep on July 28, 2011 at 9:42pm: Ok, Ladies. It seems that we are not supposed to post the BattleStations schedule on here anymore, at RTC's request. So please look one last time at it up in the BattleStations discussion group if you want to. I will be deleting it in the morning.
