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 Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on October 31, 2010 at 12:00pm: Ok, just sent a bunch of info, including PDA policy, to girlfriend and her mom (they'll be joining us for PIR). I really hope it doesn't offend her, but I know it will be a shock when he can't grab her and sweep her off her feet, and I don't want her to get upset or think something's wrong. I'd probably get him in trouble myself if I didn't know I could'nt be hugging on him all the time....(:
I'm so excited - it's almost here finally!!!
