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 Missyssailor(ship02div942) on July 28, 2011 at 10:10am: Thanks. I will be safe rather than sorry. Lol

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 28, 2011 at 10:06am: Missyssailor, I would still put it in a plain white stamped envelope. I wouldn't take the chance that the RDC's would read it and possibly tease them about it.
