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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 8, 2010 at 7:47pm: I have received a request from a good friend, who is Jewish. Her young children would like to send some Hanukkah cards to some of our recruits, who share their faith. In order to do this, I would have to have their full name and address. If you have a recruit who is Jewish, or your recruit knows of someone in their division who is Jewish, please pm me and I will get their names and addresses. They are very strict in their faith and would love to share a card for their holiday. Thank you.
