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 Will Man's Mom on August 13, 2012 at 1:57pm: This week is Navy Week at the Navy Pier in Chicago! To commemorate the War of 1812, there are ships set to dock, Blue Angels, and lots of other performance type activities. Hopefully our SR's will get to take part in this memorable event. Hopefully some photo ops.....
