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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 28, 2012 at 7:54pm: Sorry I haven't been on...turns out I think I actually had a reaction to some medication...edema and inflammation...hence why my back was hurting so much. I stopped taking it and am much better...just tired and getting "back to normal"...I am trying to catch up on here! I will have to tend to the 10/12 group first and then will be back to read on here.

Prayers for those in the path of the hurricane...:-(
