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 Kathy on November 5, 2010 at 6:09pm: What a day.... Wasn't it awesome? Congrats to ALL of our new sailors. It has been a joy to go through this experience with each of you. Enjoy your time with your new sailor.

Comment by AmeliaGrumma (RCU) on November 5, 2010 at 2:27pm: Congrats to ALL! Sorry I missed meeting all of you!

Lynne--great talking with you yesterday & so glad you made it safely! Keep me posted --this will always be her Ship/Div with having gotten so far with them!

It'll be weeks before my daughter is able to PIR based on her leg fracture healing. She remains in North Chicago VA Med. Center. Hoping to go to RCU this next week. Then with rehab, etc... back on track for a new PIR date!

Sailors--You make us PROUD!
