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 butterblink on September 12, 2012 at 10:03am: Ladies, I just wanted to post one last time to all of you. I know I havent posted very much but I will say that each of you have been a wealth of information and you made our trip and experience much more enjoyable with all of your tips. It was a fabulous trip and unbelievably memorable. My sailor was very happy and healthy and has made some wonderful friends. Thank you all for sharing your experiences and personal information. I know it helped all of us navigate this crazy experience. I am now a very proud Navy Mom and I owe a lot of it to you ladies, Thank you!
