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."

Michigan Mom, there are several A-schools in Great Lakes. My husband is becoming an Engineer, but there are others there for other things too. :) The Great Lakes Naval Base is one of the largest there is in the USA, so there are several different "operations" it does. :)
