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 Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on August 29, 2012 at 9:31am: My wedding anniversary is tomorrow. What a great anniversary present I'm getting this year-seeing my sailor graduate!!. We are driving over and leaving late morning so I don't know if we will make it into town in time to go to the meet and greet. If we don't make it, I hope to get a chance to meet you at the graduation though I'm sure it will be crazy there. Have a safe trip, GMom.

Comment by GMom on August 29, 2012 at 8:23am: Well, it's finally here! Time to depart for GL. Headed to the airport in about and hour and half and then will spend most of the day travelling. Hubby and I are so excited to see our son and share this awesome event with him and his Grandfather. We've been married for 22 years and I think this is the most excited we've been about a trip/vacation in all that time. Safe travels to all, hope to meet you all tomorrow night at the Sundance!
