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 Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 20, 2011 at 3:18pm: Yay fireteamleaderwife! So happy you got to reconnect with your husband these last few weeks. Congrats on the 31 years of marriage, my husband and I are just 10 years behind you. I'm so glad to see sucess on that front. I've heard so many stories on how military life wreaks havoc on marriages. I've been drumming it into my childrens' and nieces' and nephews' heads the importance of choosing wisely.
