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 AbbyP on September 13, 2010 at 4:21pm: I have to brag... My husband is pretty darn amazing... Today, our anniversary... at my office... I received flowers and a Happy Anniversary note from him! I did some research before posting this because I knew that some of you may have questions on how he was able to do this... So... I called the florist's number on the bottom of the note and they said he placed the order over a month ago! :-) I can't stop smiling and crying!!! After 8 years of marriage, 10 years all together... he still amazes me!
