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 NC_Susan on November 5, 2010 at 10:19pm: Mary, on your settings you can check off which groups you want it to email you about. I also learned the hard way:)

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 5, 2010 at 10:08pm: OMG! I didn't know that this website sends everything to your e-mail. I turned it all off cause I just went through 6000+ emails.

Comment by NC_Susan on November 5, 2010 at 9:46pm: Ladies, just wanted to let you all know that the pink scarf from Old Navy is now on sale for $6.25! I was in there tonight, but I'm not sure how long the sale will last. I will also post this in your pink scarf discussion.
