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 mapes on August 25, 2011 at 3:51pm: Yes I got my Im a sailor call last eve!

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2011 at 3:47pm: Shel: From the 847 area code? Hmmmmm....timing was about right, but seems strange that no one else is posting that they have received calls---so don't think that is what it was. And no message left....could he have called anyone else? If it was a call to get/give info only---supervised----they aren't allowed to leave messages.

Comment by ShelMaq on August 25, 2011 at 1:38pm: anybody from 283 get a call? I just missed a call on my cell phone and I am worried that it was him... I was thinking it was tomorrow... but I don't know.

Comment by SailorsFiance on August 25, 2011 at 1:01pm: when 289 BATTLESTATION? I NEED HELP !!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 25, 2011 at 12:28pm: Dianne, I'm keeping your sailor (and all those in the path) in my prayers. We are watching it here in Maryland too. It's raining now, but they say that if the hurricane heads this way, we won't see that until this weekend.
