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 diannep on March 6, 2011 at 9:24pm: navy nana: Your new sailor will know the airport he is leaving from, and the airlines. Make sure you find that out on PIR day so you can hopefully meet him there on Sat morning (EARLY!) to wait with him, like Jessica said. Jessica and I both missed this with our sailors....very much regret it...
