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 KS Cathy (S7Div.357/PIR11/5) on November 2, 2010 at 7:17pm: NEED advice. Last Friday when my son called to tell me he was a sailor, he arranged for us to meet outside the door. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY I CAN NOT HUG MY SON!!! So, what should I do. This was before he knew the rules and I learned them on here. Should one of us go outside and get him and bring him back in or what. I would like some pictures. I ALSO HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE HUG!!!
