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 Jaysmom (Ship 12 Div 039) on December 23, 2010 at 9:27am: REGARDING ADOPT A SAILOR FOR CHRISTMAS

I just called the base and was told that we would not be allowed to enter the based until 8 a,m, and that we are to go to the Main gate where we will be directed to the parking garage!! She infatically told me that if more than one person was coming to pick up recruits -- only one person will be allowed into the visitors center to meet up with recruits. She said all others will need to wait in the parking garage.
