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 Jennifer (Ship 09 Div 015) on December 5, 2010 at 12:54am: It's not just you. Leaving here seems harder than when my boyfriend first left for bootcamp. But I have to say I am very proud!

Comment by nvmomma on December 4, 2010 at 8:39pm: PIR was amazing! So sorry I didn't get to meet any of you; by sheer chance we met up with my son's best friend's family - they happened to sit beside us and then realized who we were! We had a great time at PIR and had lunch with them, sharing time with our boys. What great memories were made that day...

Comment by TRea's Mom (ship 09 div 015) on December 4, 2010 at 6:12pm: Just wanted to add a quick note - We just arrived home from PIR and it was it was completely amazing doesn't begin to describe how I felt. Seeing my son again just melted my heart, and I'm so very proud of him and this huge accomplishment he has done. Of course, I was proud of him before he ever joined USN, but he's a man now!! And he a very good man!
