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 Mom from St Pete on October 5, 2010 at 7:30pm: Am Happy for you Diana... Enjoy your letter Yeah!!!
I am going to order some ribbons with his last name and maybe in silver.

Comment by Mom from St Pete on October 5, 2010 at 7:24pm: My son had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out last week I found out today. He survived and got a few days off. Lucky him. He said he is doing good. Passing all physical tests. Says the food is pretty good. Asked me to bring him some cookies to Graduation. He can't wait to see us. He even wrote a little note to his younger sister. Asked for some stamps. I guess writing is there only pass time.
