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 MaryG on October 13, 2010 at 7:00pm: I talked to my Andrew for a good 45 minutes and he sounded good but exhausted. He said he has been up for the last 48 hours and because a few of them fell asleep they can only stand around now. He has duty tonight so he'll be lucky to get a full eight hours of sleep. I told him about all the terrific moms who kept us posted on what was going on and that I knew he would be calling me today either way. We'll be flying out tomorrow afternoon and look forward to seeing everyone from the great state of Texas! Andrew said lots of sailors are from here.
