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 iriejennifer on January 6, 2011 at 9:59am: wow that is such a disappointment about the video ;(

wonder why they didn't film it..... oh well hopefully they will not process my order when they receive it... a once in a lifetime event.

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on December 31, 2010 at 11:23pm: Sean'sMom......yes, no DVD due to technical difficulties.

Do anyone try to call to see how can you (sailor) can get a reimbursement? I try several times and ring but not answer, not even an answer machine. The navy on FB give the number. Then I try the number on the bill that they provide my sailor when he pay and just an answer machine. I left a message but I still waiting for a call. I'm very sad, I know this things can happen, but now also the problem with the reimbursement.

Comment by Niña on December 31, 2010 at 11:26am: Thanks everyone for such warm greeting! Happy New Year to all, may God bless you and your family! And of course, our Sailors!

After the holiday, I will post some videos on youtube and will post the link here for everyone to watch. i have some good videos, not the best but something that'll always be special to us! Happy holidays everyone :)
