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 Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 3, 2010 at 7:33pm: I got my 2nd phonce call today on my cell at work. My son sounds good! Says that he has taken two computer tests and waiting for the results. He has been doing night watch this week in preparation for weapons training next week. He is a little frustrated since his DIV gets extra PT in the evenings after they shower right before bed; then they go to bed sweaty! (Yuck) He says some SR just don't seem to care; they don't follow orders or their slow in responding to commands. Please say some prayers for unity and strength for his whole DIV! THANKS :-)
