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 Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 14, 2010 at 8:04pm: 12/17/10 PIR has 100 members - let's reinvigorate the Longest Distance Traveling Content to PIR. I'd like to see the total miles 100 N4Ms would travel to see the new Navy Sailor!
