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 mumziepooh on February 21, 2011 at 12:12pm: From the Facebook Page:

U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command
Good morning Facebook friends! Today is Presidents' Day/Washington's Birthday, a federal holiday. Recruits are on holiday routine today. This means they have a half day of free time to study, write letters, shine boots, hygiene (meaning: a long shower), iron, and study some more. They're always studying. Even when standing in a line in a hallway, they all have their heads buried in their training guides.

Comment by jim'scupcake on February 21, 2011 at 11:54am: If you make reservations at the Ramada~Waukegan...make sure you go to THEIR website (not just going to a general Ramada website) and click on the Navy Graduation Package Promotion, it puts the promo code right in the reservation. The promo rate is an even better deal than a AAA discount. One step closer!!!
