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 codenamegirlnextdoor ship9DIV132 on April 12, 2011 at 12:33pm: navymomship09div137....that is super cool that your daughter is so supportive of her brother! It sounds like a great outfit! My little girl is 6 and she adores her brother too. She already had a red/white/blue dress with a ships anchor and little red star buttons that she is wearing Friday. Her teacher gave her a small American flag to wave at the graduation. (I guess that is allowed.) We are super excited!
