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 April 18, 2010 at 9:44pm: My prayers are with the boys doing BS tonight and all of my Navy Sisters who are waiting for those great words tomorrow!!!!!

Comment by Ramona on April 18, 2010 at 9:26pm: Susie,
I have to make a purple scarf also, no Target in my area. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a pretty lilac purple satin material.

Lynne Thanks for the nice comment you printed about my son being a nice guy. As a mother I always hoped I was teaching the right morels and values. You never really know until someone who doesn't know the family makes a comment on your childs personality and behaviors. It was really nice to hear.

Good luck to the Divisions going through Battlestations tonight. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Comment by navynana on April 18, 2010 at 9:00pm: sending all good thoughts and prayers from the west coast to all the recruits (and moms) starting their BS tonight. They will do great, you'll see.

Target was out of RED scarfs, go figure.

Comment by diannep on April 18, 2010 at 8:51pm: GO JAMIE! Rooting for him and his "shipmates" right now!
