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 tal11119 on December 21, 2010 at 6:28pm: Received our call from my son in 801. He said it went well but they have been up for 36 hrs. We are stuck on a runway in Philadelphia for at least 1 more hr. Guess we won't be making the meet and greet. We were supposed to be in chi chicago at 3 today.
