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 Bensmom on August 18, 2012 at 2:10pm: I am seeing that people are packing things for their kids . . . Can we bring him stuff when he is headed to sub school? Can they take stuff with them or should we wait to mail to him once he gets there? I have heard conflicting reports.

Comment by t'snavymom on August 18, 2012 at 1:58pm: MrsSeniorChief, WOW, you are right about the tissues! And I'm not usually one to react to videos!

Comment by Mrs.SeniorChief on August 18, 2012 at 1:31pm: Found this boot camp graduation on youtube, it is beautiful. Have the tissues handy if you are a sap like me. :)

Comment by diannep on August 18, 2012 at 10:30am: Good Morning everyone! Hope all enjoy their weekend!

Comment by ellen0502 on August 18, 2012 at 2:40am: Generally calls start at about 2pm Chicago time. We have seen them come in earlier, but not often.

Keep your phones close all day!!!

Comment by Geraley T on August 18, 2012 at 1:00am: Hi sheryl, I responded to you on our division discussion. I am from East Texas!

Comment by Geraley T on August 18, 2012 at 12:58am: Hi Cortny. It really just depends. The best advice I can give is make sure your phone is charged and with you at all times. Good luck! See you at PIR!
