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 bluewarriorlady on January 7, 2011 at 10:08pm: I hope you are right about him having watch duty. I've never been so crazy about phone calls until he left for bootcamp. haha. But hopefully if not tonight, I will hear from him tomorrow. At least I know our divisions passed. Congratulations to everyone who did receive phone calls though! I know it must be a wonderful feeling! Can't wait to see you all at the Meet and Greet!
