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 DramaboysMom on January 7, 2011 at 1:49pm: Ok. I didn't put out Christmas lights this year, because we weren't going to be home.... so I still have my holiday blue lights.... ( and red and white.... was saving them all to put out when we leave next week) BUT>>>> I think I am going to put out as many blue lights as I can tonight. It's sort of a candle, right? Candle lumens... (trying to think outside the box!)
