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."

Congrats to the Captains Cup winners today!

dmcNavy: Hmmm....not sure if the coin would be available in the NEX after PIR or not. You may want to order it from the same place that NavyGirlzMom did.

Comment by Joanie on August 11, 2012 at 6:56pm: Congrats to Captains cup winners! 250 didn't place, but that's okay :) I have some Navy material I'd like to get made into a quilt for my daughter. Does anyone know if they are allowed to have this at A school?
