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 mycoz (Ship 7, Division 050) on January 19, 2011 at 11:26am: Steeler fans at our house as well. Started with my husband when he was young and carried over to our kids. Not a fun house to be in when the Steelers don't play well :)

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on January 19, 2011 at 10:58am: Wow look at all the Steeler fans popping out of the woodwork! HOOYAH!

My son was born with a steeler jersey on his back. LOL. His first christmas pictures are of him in front of the Christmas tree huggin a big white teddy bear wearing a Steeler jersey. No matter how good or bad they did he was and always will be a diehard fan!

My son was born just after the Steelers won the superbowl in 1979 (it was a great super bowl party); I have been their faithful fan ever since. See you all soon.
