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."

Hey ladies, I hope you don't mind that I moved our page to our PIR group.  I read where we need to do this so that the other page can be cleared for the next group.  Plus this will be easier to keep up with!  lol  Hope you all are having a great day!

My wish for today - Our SRs kick booty - do so well the RDCs reward them with a call home. My fear for today, I will be working at the game and it will be so loud I won't hear my phone ring.....that is why I am going to carry my phone in my bra - now that is going to be hard to explain to the security guard that has to accompany me on all my money drops LOL - good thing he is ex-marine - he will understand when I say bootcamp call....Have a great day - can't wait to meet some of my support system in just a few days.
