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."

Jaime - my son always knew to call my cell. And not many people if they know I'm home, which I was last Fri when I was waiting. I set my ringtone to "Anchors Aweigh" and turned up the volume. The first time I heard it, I ran to the phone, but it was a friend of mine. I'm like, "Don't call me anymore today! lol"
