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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 19, 2011 at 9:36pm: I am so sorry I haven't been on here much. I planned on being on for at least a couple hours this evening but I have been extremely dizzy ever since we got of the boat this evening and I can't seem to get over it so I am going to bed and sleep it off. I had a lot of requests and emails about ribbons if I didn't respond to yours I will do so tomorrow morning. Thanks everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful evening.

Comment by diannep on July 19, 2011 at 4:17pm: The blue candle is also used by families when their sailor is deployed, on his/her way home, etc. It is a reminder that they are being thought of and prayed for. For those who don't want a regular candle "burning" at night (I don't blame you!), get an electric one for nighttime use.
