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 diannep on August 30, 2011 at 8:35am: Ash/al0251: Think that you both may be getting I'm a Sailor calls today. So phones handy! The calls normally start around 2 pm GL time, but can come earlier and go for a while. Phones in the bras! If no calls received today, obviously tomorrow is the day. Hoping that it is today though!
