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 lj1422 (Josh's mom) on May 3, 2010 at 7:58pm: Navynana, I have joined the group for A school not had a lot of time to chat on it though, Glad the kids are liking Pensacola and this time of year the sun can be decieving, sunscreen all the time. Josh found out today that his class may not class up for a while and he is okay with it, he has had the same roommate up until today I guess his room mate classed up and is moving. He is content with waiting it out...he says he just is bored. Cathryn, not all of 168 left Great lakes there was about 20 of them that have A school in Great Lakes.
