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 ProudGMBarb on January 10, 2011 at 10:39pm: Question: don't all the divisions with PIR 1/14 practice for graduation together? Would that mean that some Divisions practice before they go through BS? My husband was asking me...I don't have a clue! We were wondering because if a some Divisions don't go through BS until Wed or Thurs...when would they have time to practice for graduation ceremony?!!! Can some of you seasoned Navy Moms fill me in?!!
